In a powerful stride toward advancing regional sustainability, the ASEAN Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform (ACESP) actively participated in the SEA-MaP Knowledge & Partnerships (KPP) Introduction and 2nd High-Level Policy Dialogue held in July 2026.
Throughout the event, Senior Project Manager Dr. Treesuvit Arriyavat focused on a critical mission: defining how the new SEA-MaP KPP can seamlessly complement the existing regional ecosystem. By providing strategic inputs on how to foster future collaboration on marine plastics and plastic pollution, ACESP advocated strongly for synergy, ensuring new platforms amplify, rather than duplicate, current regional efforts.
Key Takeaways & Knowledge:
1. Platform Mechanics & User Experience (UX)
The team observed a live walkthrough of the SEA-MaP regional platform, diving deep into its core pillars: the Knowledge Hub, Partnerships page, and Training page.
2. Governance and Workflows
ACESP gained comprehensive knowledge of the KPP’s strict submission workflows. This included understanding the required metadata standards and quality control steps vital for maintaining platform integrity and strong governance.
3. Policy and Regional Implementation
The event provided critical updates on global plastics policy and dissected exactly what these shifts mean for ASEAN’s ongoing fight against single-use plastics (SUP).
The insights gained from the SEA-MaP KPP event will directly inform ACESP’s ongoing efforts to streamline regional knowledge, prevent institutional duplication, and accelerate the transition toward a plastic-free, circular ASEAN economy.
