behind the IMO’s action plan on marine plastic litter,
helping companies reduce plastic use, improve waste
practices, and prevent ocean plastic pollution across
the maritime value chain.


Ocean plastic pollution affects the waters,
ports, crews, and coastal communities that
the maritime industry depends on. It is also
a challenge the industry can help solve by
reducing plastic use and preventing waste
from entering the sea.

Funds are channelled into
Seven Clean Seas plastic waste
management programmes, turning
collective industry support into
measurable plastic recovery and
pollution prevention.
We work with our members
and other industry stakeholders
to identify sources of plastic
consumption and mismanagement
and develop practical opportunities
to reduce them.
We generate insight
into the hidden plastic challenges facing
the maritime industry,
helping members
understand where plastic
enters the value chain,
where it is lost, and
where action can have
the greatest impact.
MACS brings the right
people into the room
to solve shared industry
challenges, from
sustainable plastic
procurement to port
waste management
Our guides and resources
help harmonise industry
understanding and give
companies the tools to
embed meaningful plastic
pollution mitigation into
procurement, operations,
and standard operating
procedures.
By uniting maritime
stakeholders around
a shared agenda, MACS
helps the industry
advocate for the policies,
standards, infrastructure,
and market shifts needed
to reduce plastic pollution
at scale.
Seven Clean Seas works on
