LooP Zone Project

🌊 Our Goal: The EU-funded LooP Zone Project tackles one of the Mediterranean’s most pressing environmental challenges: plastic pollution on tourist islands. Every year, over 200 million visitors generate huge amounts of single-use plastics (SUPs), which make up more than 60% of marine litter. Islands such as Formentera, Salina, Skiathos, Vis, and Gozo are on the frontline — and LooP Zone is taking action.

🏝️ Our Focus: LooP Zone creates Low Plastic Zones -areas where municipalities, tourism businesses, and local innovators work together to prevent and phase out single-use plastics.

⚙️ Our Approach: Built on three pillars — policy, business support, and innovation — LooP Zone is tested locally, shared through a digital platform, and scaled via a Mediterranean island network.

🌍 Our Vision: To transform Mediterranean tourism from a take–make–waste model into a circular economy that protects both people and the sea.
