Agree 'committing to removing 50 tonnes of ocean-bound plastic is nothing short of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.' So much greenwash around ocean plastic recycling.

Our letter published in Science Magazine led by Laura Young highlights the global environmental threat of fast tech- a growing waste stream of throw away electronics such as vapes but also childrens' toys and shoes with flashing lights. Do read and stop buying if you can.

Very honoured to get this award! Love the Materials Research Society, I've been coming to Materials Research Society (MRS) conferences for over two decades now. Gulp. Have learned so much from that community. Thank you!

🚨 Let's talk about disposable 'fast tech'

In the UK, 5 million vapes are discarded weekly but the ban is a step in the right direction

Better corporate responsibility, recycling infrastructure, & incentives are crucial

The global plastic treaty can guide this #INC4

Well done Laura! UK Science is in good shape with people like you leading on environmental issues such as fast tech. Keep up good work👍

MM VERIFY: Just highlighting that despite this ban, wet wipes will contain plastic. Manufacturers are switching to bioplastics which are not guaranteed to biodegrade on beaches, in the sea or anywhere. So in summary wet wipes will continue to contain plastic despite this ban.
