Special Curated Sessions

National Emissions Inventory with SPOT Methodology

Friday 4 October 09:00 - 10:30

Join this special curated session to understand and get basic training on how to use the SPOT model to develop a plastic pollution emissions inventory at a national level, using local data. SPOT, is a novel methodology and model that allows to link sources of plastic pollution and calculate how much of the plastic waste items become pollution in the environment and where. It offers unique capabilities of integrating local to national level. Developed at the University of Leeds, and published in Nature, the SPOT model is freely available to use, and Dr Costas Velis research team can provide technical support.
