CounterMEASURE Project looks for origins of plastic pollution in the Mekong and Ganges rivers

Plastic pollution is a major problem all across Asia.

UNEP and partners have been working through the CounterMEASURE project to determine the sources of plastic pollution in the Mekong and Ganges rivers using a novel combination of technologies, including drones, GIS and machine learning. With this information, we are able to recommend measures that can be taken to beat plastic pollution.
