DPAPP

The mission of the Durbanites against Plastic Pollution (DAPP) is to tap into local and international best practice - driven by the latest evidence for impact - to advocate and practically demonstrate solutions to Durban and South Africa's plastic and packaging pollution challenges. The DPaPP campaign is driven by an alliance of stakeholders who are committed to achieving its goals... As a coastal city with a population over 3.5 million people, Durban faces most pollution challenges faced globally. Litter and dumping are commonplace, weak collection systems characterise impoverished areas, the city has an undeveloped recycling culture and a number of polluted rivers and waterways enter the sea... DAPP aims to empower more people and organizations to take action to stop plastic pollution. It seeks to showcase effective prevention and pollution control measures at individual, community and city-wide levels.
