Plastic pollution is becoming a major concern. Currently, it is estimated that there are approximately 150 million tons of potentially harmful plastic in the oceans. If the situation remains unchanged, the amount of plastic in the oceans is expected to increase each year. Rivers and estuaries play an important role in transporting plastic from land to sea, but the ecosystems and biodiversity of the rivers themselves are also affected by plastic pollution.
The main objective of INSPIRE is to contribute to a drastic reduction in waste, macro and microplastics in European rivers through a holistic approach, bringing together 20 technologies and actions focused on:
Through its multifaceted approach, the project aims to:
20 technologies and actions have been identified and brought together to meet the needs of a holistic approach to the removal of waste, plastic, and microplastics from 6 rivers through detection, collection, and prevention.

The INSPIRE project has reached an important milestone with the submission of Deliverable D4.4: the Impact Evaluation Dashboard — a new digital tool designed to monitor and communicate project activities aimed at tackling litter in rivers and waterways.
Developed by Infordata, in collaboration with other INSPIRE project partners, the dashboard provides an integrated, web-based platform that brings together data from across the project. It allows both the public and researchers to explore real-time results, visualisations, and analyses related to litter detection, collection, and prevention.
