From 8th to 10th June 2022 the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions held the Plastics Forum. It included more than 20 side events, which were streamed on a 3D virtual platform. Many organisations were involved from across the world. The Plastics Forum also featured the announcement of the winners of the Plastic is Forever photo competition, the launch of the Plastic is Forever social media challenge, and a hackathon event.
The Plastic is Forever social media challenge uses gaming to involve the youth in the fight against plastic pollution. It challenges gamers to try and collect as much plastic waste as possible from sea and mountains.
