Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
A productive, healthy and clean aquatic environment is vital for fisheries and other sectors. In order to
accommodate sustainable growth in marine sectors, it is essential to avoid littering and other types of
pollution. Despite this, marine and inland waters are recipients of intentional and unintentional litter
and other pollutants.
Waste occurring in freshwater and marine water and litter are to a large extent transported over large
distances, often following the ocean currents. Problems due to marine pollution must therefore be
solved at an international as well as at a national level.
Reduced release of waste into the ocean and inland water bodies will also make a significant
contribution to improved resource management, increased sustainable food production and improved
circular economy.
This document can contribute to:
— reduced global amount of litter and other pollutants from the fishing fleet;
— reduced macroplastic and microplastic levels in marine and inland waters, and on the seabed;
— reduced amount of litter in the littoral zone and nearby terrestrial areas, as well as in recreation
areas;
— reduced ghost fishing and environmental impact from the seafood industry, e.g. on fish species,
invertebrates, reptiles, birds and mammals;
— healthy aquatic ecosystems and sustainable fish stocks.
Biological waste in the form of, for example, offal, bycatch and discard does not lead to littering and
should be treated as important and valuable resources for the fishing industry. This issue is therefore
not treated in this document.

3.1 Materials and waste
3.1.1
waste
substance or object which is disposed of, is intended to be disposed of or is required to be disposed of
by the provisions of national law
3.1.2
litter
solid material, object or fragment which has been deliberately discarded or unintentionally lost
Note 1 to entry: According to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships,
[3]
MARPOL 73/78 (Appendix V “Rules for the Prevention of Pollution by Garbage from Ships”), litter means
all types of food, household and operational waste (3.1.1), all types of plastics (3.1.3), cargo residues, ash from
incinerators, cooking oil, fishing gear and carcasses of animals that are formed during the normal operation of
the vessel and are subject to constant or periodic removal.
3.1.3
plastic
polymer to which additives or other substances can be added, and which can function as a main
structural component of final products
Note 1 to entry: In the context of this document, the polymers are mainly petroleum based.
Note 2 to entry: Onboard a fishing vessel (3.2.1), all types of plastics, including bioplastics and biodegradable
plastics, should be treated as plastics.
3.1.4
microplastic
solid plastic particles or fragments smaller than 5 mm in the largest dimension, insoluble in water and
not degradable
