The UBE Chair in Sustainable Plastics at Universitat Jaume I organized the initiative “A plastic-free sea: a weekend for change”, a themed weekend aimed at raising awareness and educating the community about the impact of plastic waste in the ocean, while promoting sustainable actions to tackle this pressing issue. The event took place on 14 and 15 December 2024, at the Castelló Planetarium. The programme featured public lectures, a workshop for children, and a plastic and waste collection activity on the beaches of Castelló.

The activities began on Saturday, 14 December, with the lecture titled “Plastics in the sea: between utility and  environmental impact”, which discussed the environmental benefits of plastics compared to their negative ecological impacts. This was followed by a second lecture, “Plastics in the sea: marine organisms as indicators of microplastics in marine ecosystems”, focusing on marine species that can act as indicators of microplastics in ecosystems.

Next, the workshop “Little heroes of the sea: care, recycle, protect” invited children aged 4 to 12 to play and craft while learning about the importance of reducing waste, recycling, and protecting the ocean.

Finally, on Sunday, 15 December, participants joined a beach cleanup in Castelló to collect plastic waste and other debris, emphasizing the need to keep seas and oceans clean.

The initiative also had the support of the Castelló de la Plana City Council, the Castelló Planetarium, the NGO Bioagradables, and the Institute for Environmental and Marine Science Research at the Catholic University of Valencia.
