A small reminder to get your abstracts submitted for the Microplastics Workshop for Early Career Researchers! The deadline is less than a month away, and we're looking forward to seeing you there! Get more information at: microplasticsworkshop.com

Just ahead of #INC4, our scientists have co-authored two new letters in Science Magazine calling for negotiators of the #PlasticsTreaty to: 1️⃣🔄 Directly link the #CircularEconomy to the waste hierarchy. This means clearly prioritizing #prevention, #reduction, and #reuse.

The #wasteHierarchy can help us find solutions to the #PlasticsPollution crisis, starting with #PPP #ProductionReduction and a shift towards a #CircularEconomy that is restorative and regenerative. #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty ❗️read our new letter in @👇 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

This line of argument is still used today... #PlasticsTreaty #INC4 #Plastic

This is where scientific studies have found #plastics & plastics interacting with marine life. In many places, levels exceed the threshold of 3 particles per L (where the most sensitive 5% of species are affected) AT CURRENT PRODUCTION LEVELS stressing the need to cut production.

Hvis vi skal problemet med plastikforurening til livs, så er det vigtigere at reducere forbruget af plastik og skabe produkter, der holder længere. Det skriver lektor Kristian Syberg og kolleger i Science. #dkforbrug #verdensmål #dkgreen ruc.dk/nyheder/intern…

New paper! Primary Plastic Polymers: urgently needed upstream reduction From a team of authors at the Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty #PPP #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty bit.ly/3U8RHmG

The main thing that the #PlasticsTreaty must account for, says Kristian Syberg of Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty, is how we can reduce plastic consumption. 🏆Best option: #Reduce 🎒If not possible: #Reuse ♻ Only if not possible: #Recycle Listen to Kristian🎧: on.soundcloud.com/FWKRAafiuaF1s5… #EarthDay

Production reduction 📉 Kristian Syberg explains why #recycling isn't sufficient to solve the plastics issue and why we need a #reduction in production: anjakrieger.com/plastisphere/2…

1/Today, doubts were expressed about the negative impacts of #microplastics. We invite #INC4 delegates to consult the ToMEx tool created by scientists to inform the development of health-based thresholds to support California legislations on water quality. microplastics.springeropen.com/articles/10.11…

On the last day of the #INC4 negotiations we are proud to highlight an Editorial published by The Scientists' Coalition in #CPPlastics. ''We must go upstream to the source of the global plastics crisis and turn off the plastic pollution tap'' Read more here: bit.ly/3U8RHmG
