Dr Costas Velis from Civil Engineering is interviewed about Breaking the Plastic Wave, a ground-breaking report that revealed how much plastic is being openly burned and discarded, which ends up in the oceans. Find out more ⬇️ newseu.cgtn.com/news/2020-09-2…

Welcome to the Yorkshire Circular Lab, linking world-class research with workable circular solutions to #buildbackbetter #circulareconomy #NetZero @DavidGibbsHull @PhilPurnell

The Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Centre for Mineral-based Construction Materials is now on Twitter! Follow Circular Economy Centre for Construction Minerals to hear about how we can reduce construction minerals extraction to enable UK leadership at the forefront of the green industrial revolution #circulareconomy

Apply! An amazing project, PI and institution. I'm not at all biased.

Reducing the flow of ocean-bound plastic will require a global effort. But together, #BreakingThePlasticWave is possible. Pew Environment pewtrusts.org/plasticaction

Science shows us that marine plastic pollution is increasing. But we can stop that trend by acting now. 👉 pew.org/3v4z98p #BreakingThePlasticWave

Ending open burning of waste is a global challenge and we're directly addressing it as part of Project STOP in Pasuruan, Java.

#plasticpollution is a genuine #GlobalCrisis - join me today in major event chaired by Minister of Agri-Innovation and Climate Adaptation Jo Churchill Defra UK along with key stakeholders - presenting on how UK local is linked to #global, #international, and transboundary

Join me today in this major debade - ahead of #plasticpollution global treaty at #unea - critical to ensure #wastepickers #informalsector are core part of future preventive solutions #SDGs

Dr Louise Fletcher describes a new testing facility at University of Leeds which will enable scientists and engineers to investigate the way airborne microorganisms move around buildings, in order to improve environmental air quality. Read more ⬇️ theengineer.co.uk/cecam-facility…

Sitting on an Indonesian ferry thinking about plastic pollution. What can be collected? What, given its format and composition, must be simply designed out?

The discussions took place with the participation of 🇬🇷 and 🇬🇧 academics and representatives from 🇬🇷 environmental NGOs. #UKinGreece #aclcf #marinepollution Costas Velis University of Leeds Kostas Topouzelis University Of Aegean @IGiovos Anastasia Charitou @IseaOrg Stavroula Kordella University of Patras Newcastle University University of Plymouth

Great to engage with civil society stakeholders to #PlasticsINC. We are in a race against time to negotiate and finalise an ambitious global agreement to #BeatPlasticPollution. Strong civil society engagement is vital to elevate ambition & deliver a just transition for all.

Very powerful opening address to #INC2 from ⁦UN Environment Programme⁩ ⁦Inger Andersen⁩ on what is needed for a future without the blight of plastic pollution, clear messages to eliminate unnecessary plastics, and to focus on upstream solutions

Down To Earth Thanks to Down To Earth for such a clear and detailed presentation of our research - including its limitations - we are grateful for your positive contribution and dissemination of our work Costas Velis Josh Cottom
