🧫🌊 New from LabPlas EU Project : Biofilm growth affects how microplastics move! After 180 days, 76% of plastic films sank vs just 6% of fragments. More biofilm = more weight = less buoyancy. Check out the infographic & why this matters 👉labplas.eu/learning-hub/

🌟 Big week at LabPlas EU Project! Prof. Richard Thompson, named one of the 100 most influential people of the year, stars in our new Flash Interview! 🗣️ "We need a UN treaty to address plastic pollution globally." 🎥 Watch his insights youtu.be/YoAfbaK_-XY

🎙️ Final #FlashInterview from LabPlas EU Project is out! 🔊 Camilla Carteny Plastics Europe "The Global Plastics Treaty is extremely important and should be supported." 🌍 A strong message to close our series on tackling plastic pollution. 🎥 Watch now: youtu.be/gIVoS_4JwI0

📢 Final interactive infographic from LabPlas EU Project is out! 🧪 See how physics-based models help trace #microplastics in EU waters 🌊 ➡️ Fate, transport, leaching, health risks & more! 🎯 Bridging science & policy 👉 Explore now: labplas.eu/learning-hub/

🌍🔬 LabPlas EU Project at #SETAC2025! Our partner Patricia Taladriz presented her research on the degradation of new vs. aged LDPE greenhouse films under sunlight, revealing the release of micro- and nanoplastics. Multi-technique analysis included TEM, SEM, Raman, NTA, TOC, and FC

We’ve just started the final LabPlas EU Project General Assembly in Vigo! Day 1: reviewing results, achievements & the impact of our work on microplastic pollution. Proud of how far we’ve come! 🌍🔬

✅ The LabPlas EU Project project has officially wrapped up! After two days of sharing results & achievements in Vigo, we concluded with a visit to the stunning San Simón Island. 🌊🔬 Thanks to all partners for this inspiring journey!

🌊 Thank you to all the researchers, partners, stakeholders, and supporters who brought the LabPlas EU Project project to life. As this chapter closes, we hope the knowledge gained and connections forged will continue to inspire and grow. Stay curious, and thank you for being part of

🔬🌍 LabPlas EU Project at #SIBECOL2025! 📅 June 2–6 | Pontevedra (Spain) 🐟 R. Beiras presents research on endocrine-disrupting chemicals in Cyprinodon variegatus. Plastic bag leachates & WWTP effluents affect fish reproduction at the genetic level.

🔬Plastic pollution isn’t invisible — but it used to be undetectable. After 4 years of science & innovation, LabPlas EU Project unveils its Legacy Document on micro- & nanoplastics (≤100 µm). 📘 Science. Tools. Policy impact. Read more 👉labplas.eu/legacy-documen…

🌍 Today on #WorldEnvironmentDay, LabPlas EU Project reaffirms its mission to tackle microplastic pollution. We develop scientific tools to trace plastic in soil & water and support EU #ZeroPollution goals. 🔬 Science for a cleaner, healthier planet.

🌊 The ocean speaks — in waves, in silence, in warning signs. At LabPlas EU Project , we’ve traced the journey of microplastics and remain committed to stopping them before they reach the sea. 💙 This #WorldOceansDay, stand with us. 🔗labplas.eu
