Science can inform how to solve the challenges to address the plastics pollution crisis. Ecotoxicology expert Bethanie Carney Almroth #PlasticsTreaty #INC4 w/ the Scientists’ Coalition For An Effective #PlasticsTreaty explains why science needs to be robust, independent, & free from conflict of interests.

Scientists have demonstrated that a 12-ounce paper cup’s plastic lining sheds more than 1.5 trillion tiny plastic particles into the liquid it holds. ☕

The book of plastics is long and boring. No one can lift the damn thing. It’s full of charts and facts and figures, and instructions for dancing.

[It’s actually filled w/ lists of primary polymers & chemical additives.] #plasticstreaty #inc5

#INC4 came to a close last night. 5 Gyres was proud to play a role in the @scientists_coa, alongside 350 global scientists, serving as a resource for delegates to negotiate a #PlasticsTreaty based on facts.

Made a movie demonstrating how to clean out Filtrol for a current Oregon Sea Grant project with ACE Lab & OSU Hatfield. We'll be installing them in coastal towns to capture fibers.

It's action packed and rated G 👚👗🧦 #filtrolthemovie #MPSOS pnwmicroplastics

Take a moment to read this recent news article on the progress of the plastics treaty by Michael Copley with NPR--and if you read all the way through, you'll see a quote from our Co-Leader Dr. Susanne Brander!

Yesterday, we met with Rep. Jared Huffman at #INC4 , and we're proud to continue guiding an effective #PlasticsTreaty using science.

The Scientists Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty (@Scientists_Coa) includes 350 scientists who can support negotiators with facts and evidence.

'Policymakers should also insulate scientific bodies from corporate interference. Business views should pertain to developing solutions, not debating the science.' 👏 Mⓐrtin Wⓐgner in his nature World View article: nature.com/articles/d4158…

The first day of #INC4 negotiations for a #PlasticsTreaty had plenary sessions most of the day and contact groups that stretched to the early evening. Here are #BreakFreeFromPlastic highs ✅ lows ❌as well as the key stories from today - A thread🧵

The connection between #plastic & our health is clear: plastic poisons people. We need strong legislation that prioritizes PEOPLE—not profits—in the #PlasticsTreaty !

Scientists from the Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty are in Ottawa at #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty negotiations to support delegates with robust independent #science . Come find us!

As a faculty member who leads a lab and conducts coastal research, I see how much impact experiential learning has on my students and the progression of marine research at OSU.

Pls consider giving a gift to beav.es/cL4 or beav.es/car this #DamProudDay !

🔴Good Nigh Negotiators. The world has a message for you:
#PlasticsTreaty

This #EarthDay , we want a global treaty to end plastic pollution now!

5 Gyres is in Ottawa, Canada for #INC4 , as part of the Scientists Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty, to guide delegates in negotiating a strong #PlasticsTreaty that is grounded in science.

Happy Earth Day!🌎Use refillable bottles filled w/filtered tap water instead of bottled water.
