Ask a Scientist: Microplastics & Circularity
What’s covered
What makes plastics both essential and problematic in our modern world? How can a circular economy approach address the growing microplastic crisis found throughout our environment, bodies, and food chain? Plastics comprise thousands of polymer formulations connected to over 16,000 chemicals, creating a complex challenge that demands innovative solutions. Experts in microplastic sources, human and environmental impacts, and circular economy principles share insights, perspectives, and practical steps for transforming our relationship with plastics to create more sustainable systems that minimize environmental and health consequences.
