‘Everywhere we looked we found evidence’: the godfather of #microplastics on 20 years of #pollution research and the fight for global action
theconversation.com/everywhere-we-… via The Conversation
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''

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.

Production reduction 📉
Kristian Syberg explains why #recycling isn't sufficient to solve the plastics issue and why we need a #reduction in production:

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

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

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.

science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
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 .
We have 2 new positions in our plastic group at RUC
a PhD position on trophic transfer of #nanoplastic candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationIni…
a post doc in #CircularEconomy and #PlasticPollution with relevance to the #plastictreaty candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationIni…

❗️ We are facing a triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. What roles do plastics play within these threats? And how can multilateral agreements support synergistic efforts to address them?
Our new Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty fact sheet explores how:
