Governments must take an active role by implementing policies and regulations that encourage investment in recycling projects for marine waste and provide financial incentives. They should also enforce laws to prevent illegal dumping of marine debris. Businesses have a crucial role in recycling marine waste, utilizing advanced technologies to transform it into new products and resources.​ They can invest in facilities for ocean cleaning and recycling to efficiently manage marine waste. Social organizations can spread awareness about the circular economy through education and public events, organizing clean-up efforts, and promoting the recycling of marine resources. Individuals can support the circular economy by making eco-friendly purchasing choices, reducing the use of disposable plastics, and practicing waste sorting and recycling. By working together, governments, businesses, social organizations, and individuals can foster a circular economy that promotes environmental sustainability and resource efficiency, contributing to long-term sustainable development goals.
