Plastics Lab @OceanWise

We study sources, transport, fate and impacts of plastics and microplastics in the ocean #plasticpollution, #microplastics, #OceanWiseResearch

It was great hosting @NuffieldCanada and discuss microplastics in home laundry and urban waste!

[Nuffield Canada @NuffieldCanada]

Amazing learning opportunity @PlasticsLab. From investigation of micro-plastics to sea reforestation a great bit of work being done here.

[Plastics Lab @OceanWise @PlasticsLab]

We're hiring! Come work with us and help design creative solutions to ocean microplastic pollution! Details below, feel free to comment/DM with questions!

Check out our NEW report! By making simple yet effective changes when doing laundry, such as washing on gentle and in cold water, you can drastically decrease microfiber pollution.

[Ocean Wise @OceanWise]

Latest @PlasticsLab study in partnership with @Samsung Electronics and @Patagonia shows that ‘gentle’ wash cycles reduces #microfiber shedding. Partnering with industry to develop science-based #solutions to this critical issues, https://t.co/SeIEA0uYJV #microplastics

It's #CircularEconomyMonth🔁✨visit https://t.co/d8knQWmCTQ to learn more! By consuming less raw material, and maximizing use, we can eliminate plastic waste. Check out @OceanWise Plastics Reduction Program to help reduce your plastic footprint!

[Ocean Wise @OceanWise]

Plastic waste is a major contributor to pollution - using the #CircularEconomy principles we can reduce plastic leakage into the ocean. Sign up for the Plastic Reduction Program at https://t.co/Ms9ce03lWA to help your business reduce its plastic footprint.

How do we count microplastics in oceans around the world? Our own researcher Kevin Landrini @OceanWise with @SailGPCAN @BertoldIsabella in Saint-Tropez - who'll be collecting tow-net samples at🌍race locations to be sent to our lab!

Will we find diff. plastics at diff. places?

[NorthStar SailGP Team @SailGPCAN]

The ocean is our racetrack and the more data we have on it, the better we can understand and protect it. Here in St-Tropez, we did some water sampling together with @OceanWise, to measure the level of microplastic pollution in the water. Results to come in a few week's time 🔬

[Shoreline Cleanup @cleanshorelines]

Last month, for #PlasticFreeJuly, we hosted a #webinar on the power of @OceanWise plastics data. We had such a successful turnout, and thank everyone who joined us! Watch the full webinar on Youtube:

[Plastics Lab @OceanWise @PlasticsLab]

Our report “Me, My Clothes and the Ocean” is referenced on @iciradiocanada with Marie-Chantal Ross of @CNRC_NRC. Even if 90% of microfibres are trapped during wastewater treatment, that leaves 10% or the equivalent of 10 blue whales destined for the ocean https://t.co/qFvvh6bZUA

We're hosting a webinar next week with @cleanshorelines to celebrate #PlasticFreeJuly! We'll dive into how @OceanWise plastics data is making a difference in ocean conservation. RSVP below!

[Shoreline Cleanup @cleanshorelines]

Want to help us achieve our goal of a plastic free ocean this #PlasticFreeJuly? Join our FREE webinar where we'll unravel the impact of plastics data through microfiber shedding from at-home laundry & citizen science litter data.
