Starting the new year off strong with the setup of the remaining 2 additive experiments - using soil from Brazil & India 🇧🇷🇮🇳 We're looking at the degradation rate of certain additives commonly found in #plastic mulch films in different soil types 🤓
☠️IMPOSSIBLE to design plastics to remove all risks of toxicity in recycling
@FraunhoferISE proved creation of new NonIntentionally Added Substances

Plastic pollution – What progress are we making to solve this global environmental challenge?
Read the piece by @ProfRThompson - who was the first to coin the term "microplastics" almost 20 years ago:

As part of the triple planetary crisis, pollution is one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss & ecosystem degradation. Plastic pollution is detrimental to every ecosystems upon which livelihoods and economies depend @IUCN Policy Brief #plasticstreaty

@IsabelGlaucia @LatinXChem@EnvSciRSC@WaldmanLab Hi Glaucia, congratulations on the excellent work! Did you do any soil preparation before separating the microplastics? Thanks☺️
A 👏🏼 future 👏🏼 free 👏🏼 from 👏🏼 plastic 👏🏼 pollution 👏🏼 is 👏🏼 POSSIBLE!
To make it possible, lawmakers, corporations, and businesses must #breakfreefromplastic and switch to long-term systemic changes like reuse and refill systems!
