A survey of global waste plastic policy trends using RuleWatcher was reported at a side event hosted

Research using RuleWatcher, a tool for visualizing environmental and human rights rule trends operated by OSINTech Inc. (Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture; President: Masato Oda), was reported at an international environmental conference.




Research by Professor Hajime Sasaki, Faculty of Economics, Chuo University, on the monitoring of waste plastic policy trends for reduction policy was reported at the side event "Plastic-Free Rivers for Resilient Riverine Communities" hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) at the 16th Asia Pacific Roundtable on Sustainable Consumption and Production.



Our RuleWatcher is being used to efficiently and timely collect information on national regulations related to single-use plastics, which is important for this research. This report shows that, as of November 16, 2022, AI has enabled the collection of more than 23,000 government documents related to microplastics from 1,018 government agencies around the world.
