Act! with Surfrider is a Qualiopi-certified training organization under the “training action” category, ensuring the pedagogical quality and rigor of its modules. The plastic pollution training relies on scientifically validated content and interactive tools such as the Plastic Pollution Fresk. This approach fosters understanding of key issues related to plastic waste, single-use plastics, microplastics, and marine pollution. It is part of a broader corporate awareness initiative focused on plastic reduction and the adoption of sustainable solutions.
The plastic pollution training is eligible for funding by French Skills Operators (OPCOs), particularly for companies with fewer than 250 employees. This funding depends on the integration of the training into a formal skills development plan and compliance with legal obligations.
