The LABPLAS project is a collaborative effort involving 20 groups from 17 organizations with expertise in various fields. Their main objective is to understand the sources, transport, distribution, and impacts of plastic pollution across different environments (freshwater, marine, terrestrial, atmosphere, and aquatic life). They aim to achieve this through technological advancements, promoting biodegradable materials when suitable, creating scalable models for plastic assessment, and presenting scientifically supported findings for Plastic Governance. Their focus includes micro and nanoplastics, especially those smaller than 100 µm.
