Small Particles, Big Problem: 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. Hear the latest research on microplastic sources, pathways and impacts, and discover how circular economy principles can transform our relationship with plastics to create more sustainable systems that minimize environmental and health consequences.
