Malaysian Microplastics Network

The Malaysian Microplastics Network (MyMiP) is a multidisciplinary network for #microplastics research and collaboration across #Malaysia.
 
The aims of the network are:

• Quantitative and qualitative inventory of microplastics in Malaysia
• Information sharing between researchers and stakeholders (public policy engagement)
• Develop strategies for tackling the issue through collaborative working
• Informing evidence-based policy decisions on waste management and strategy
 
MyMiP is supported by the Global Research Translation Award (GRTA) coordinated by University of East Anglia, UK, under the project title “Meeting the SDGs: creating innovative infrastructures and policy solutions to support sustainable development in Global communities (GS-DEV)”. The GRTA has been funded as part of the UK government’s Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) Innovation and Commercialisation Programme, developed to fast-track promising research findings into real-world solutions.
