| 1. | Greeting | Hello everyone! Today, I’ll discuss how we can turn coastal waste into reusable, eco-friendly resources. Together, we’ll explore how initiatives like the Ocean Protection 1905 project align with SDG 14 to create a sustainable future. | |
| 2. | Background Slides | SDG 14 focuses on conserving and sustainably using the oceans, seas, and marine resources. It addresses marine pollution, overfishing, ocean acidification, and habitat destruction. The goal is to ensure that marine ecosystems remain resilient and can provide vital resources for the future. | |
| 3. | Background Slides | Oceans cover over 70% of the Earth's surface and are critical for regulating the global climate, supporting biodiversity, and providing food and livelihoods for billions of people. However, marine pollution, especially plastic waste, threatens these vital ecosystems, making SDG 14 essential for global sustainability. | |
| 4. | Background Slides | Key targets include reducing marine pollution by 2025 (14.1), sustainably managing marine and coastal ecosystems (14.2), and ending overfishing by implementing science-based management (14.4). | |
| 5. | Case Study Slides — Taiwan’s situation | Taiwan faces severe coastal waste issues, with plastic waste, discarded fishing gear, and industrial runoff polluting its shorelines. These problems threaten ecosystems across the island, including critical wetlands and marine habitats, and harm industries such as fishing and tourism. | |
| 6. | Case Study Slides | Pollution damages important wetlands, such as the Dacheng and Hanbao Wetlands, as well as other coastal habitats crucial for biodiversity. These areas are vital for migratory bird species like the black-faced spoonbill. Additionally, the fishing industry suffers from reduced fish stocks, and polluted beaches deter tourists, impacting local economies. | |
| 7. | Case Study Slides | Addressing marine pollution is essential for Taiwan's long-term sustainability. If unchecked, it will continue to degrade ecosystems, harm biodiversity, and reduce livelihoods in coastal communities. Tackling this issue aligns with SDG 14 and supports the country’s economic and environmental future. | |
| 8. | Case Study Slides — action to change (improve) | “The solution to the growing problem of marine waste is the Ocean Protection 1905 project. Initiated by Business Today, this three-year plan aims to clean Taiwan’s coastlines while promoting a circular economy. The project not only reduces waste but also transforms it into reusable products, encouraging sustainable practices in our communities.” (補充:詳細資料可至官網查看) | |
| 9. | Case Study Slides — goal | Ocean Protection 1905* sets an ambitious goal: 1,095 days of coastal cleanups. By working with corporations, NGOs, and local communities, the project emphasizes the importance of reducing waste at its source. Beyond cleanup, it turns collected waste into recycled products, giving waste a new life as eco-friendly goods. | |
| 10. | Case Study Slides — plan’s background | Taiwan’s Ocean — A New Sustainability Challenge | |
| Taiwan's oceans face a serious waste crisis. From 2017 to 2020, over 1.67 million marine waste items were collected. The top five pollutants are: | |||
| PET bottles (18.7%) — the most common item. | |||
| Fishing waste (11.8%) — like nets and ropes. | |||
| Bottle caps (10.9%), cigarette butts (7.5%), and straws (7.1%). | |||
| This growing problem calls for immediate action to protect our coastlines and marine ecosystems. | |||
| 11. | Case Study Slides | Building a Circular Economy for Marine Waste | |
| To tackle marine waste, Business Today launched 'Ocean Protection 1905'. The goal is to transform marine waste into resources. PET bottles, a major waste item, are collected and recycled into eco-friendly products. | |||
| With support from NGOs, businesses, and B Corporations, beach cleanups collect waste, which is then transformed into useful products. Key partner Green Titan 22 turns waste into sustainable footwear, giving marine debris a second life. | |||
| 12. | Case Study Slides | Restoring Balance for the Economy, Society, and Environment | |
| Ocean Protection 1905 goes beyond clean beaches — it aims to balance economy, society, and the environment. By promoting ESG principles, businesses adopt sustainable practices, reducing waste from economic activities. | |||
| This project strengthens community awareness of waste reduction, showing how local action can restore Taiwan's oceanic beauty and biodiversity. Through cleanup, recycling, and innovation, this initiative ensures a cleaner, more sustainable future for our coasts. | |||
| 13. | Case Study Slides — Action Process Overview | Step 1: Identify Key Regions | |
| Work with B Corporations to pinpoint critical coastal areas in northern, central, and southern Taiwan for cleanups. | |||
| Step 2: Confirm Corporate Engagement | |||
| Schedule and confirm corporate participation in cleanup activities based on designated times and locations. | |||
| Step 3: Conduct Cleanup Events | |||
| Carry out beach cleanup activities in targeted areas with volunteers and partners. | |||
| 14. | Case Study Slides | Step 4: Sort Ocean Waste | |
| Deliver collected waste to recycling facilities and categorize it for further processing. | |||
| Step 5: Create Upcycled Products | |||
| Transform reclaimed materials, like plastic bottles, into eco-friendly products such as reusable slippers. | |||
| Step 6: Promote Sustainable Consumption | |||
| Launch online platforms where upcycled goods are sold, encouraging corporate and public participation in sustainability. | |||
| 15. | Connection to Your Community and Field of Study | Let’s explore how CSR and environmental regulations connect SDG 14 with management principles. | |
| First, businesses can adopt Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives to reduce marine pollution. This includes offering incentives for reusable containers, sponsoring beach clean-ups, and switching to biodegradable packaging. By doing so, companies align with societal needs, enhancing both brand reputation and customer loyalty. | |||
| Second, compliance with environmental regulations is crucial. Businesses can proactively adopt green policies, such as reducing single-use plastics, to gain a competitive edge. This reflects strong regulatory compliance and risk management, ensuring companies avoid fines while fostering sustainable innovation. | |||
| 16. | Connection to Your Community and Field of Study | Now, let’s look at circular economy and green marketing. | |
| A circular economy approach involves creating reusable or recyclable products, such as eco-friendly fishing gear. This reduces ocean waste and promotes sustainable resource use. For businesses, this reflects innovation and supply chain sustainability, minimizing waste while maximizing efficiency. | |||
| Finally, green marketing shapes eco-conscious consumer behavior. Companies can run campaigns emphasizing sustainable products and offer discounts or loyalty rewards for green choices. This aligns marketing strategies with consumer values, building customer relationships while encouraging sustainable practices. | |||
