The ubiquity of microplastics in the environment is an emerging concern. These small plastics (<5 mm) along with associated contaminants may be consumed by organisms including humans and have been found in every environment on Earth. There are numerous data gaps about the potential effects of microplastics on human health and ecological systems.

Join us for an engaging and solutions-focused session featuring three expert presenters from the fields of environmental policy and circular economy innovation. Each will deliver a concise presentation addressing a key phase of the plastics journey followed by a dynamic discussion among the speakers, exploring intersections, tensions, and opportunities for collaboration.

In this webinar, Adriana Antezana and Jonathan Kalmuss-Katz of Earthjustice will explore scientific practices in safeguarding the public from toxic chemical exposures.
