Neat animation summarising our recent study on the pathways of tyre wear particles to the marine environment #WorldOceanWeek

Exciting new post available with University of Plymouth looking at #tyrewear in the marine environment 🚗

Fantastic (very soggy) two days for our first round of #micro sampling across the Tamar catchment for project Preventing Plastic Pollution with Westcountry Rivers Trust

Two more new positions in the International Marine Litter Research Unit team University of Plymouth We need an Environmental Biologist and an Environmental Chemist to work on biodegradable plastics asap! hrservices.plymouth.ac.uk/tlive_webrecru… hrservices.plymouth.ac.uk/tlive_webrecru…

Dear #MICRO2020 community - We Need You! As part of LimnoPlast, we are gathering expert opinions on microplastics risk along with opinions on the effectiveness and feasibility of solutions. Want to tell us your opinion? Follow this link. ➡️plymouth.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/mpperceptions

Professor Richard Thompson and Florence Parker-Jurd were interviewed by the BBC’s Sophie Raworth for a piece on the BBC News at Six about their research into the abundance and impact of tyre particles in the marine environment 🛞

Great to be at #INC3 with Florence Parker-Jurd Dr. Winnie Courtene-Jones Francesca De Falco and Prof. Richard C Thompson OBE FRS from University of Plymouth and the Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty for the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations with >2500 delegates representing >160 member states from around the world, working towards the end of plastic pollution.

This week, researchers from our International Marine Litter Unit attended #INC3 – the third session led by the UN Environment Programme to develop a global #PlasticsTreaty. 🧵Here’s Plymouth’s Priorities for the Treaty 👇 plymouth.ac.uk/research/marin…

Busy week at #INC3 in Nairobi. Interested to see how revisions raised this week will be incorporated into the next draft of the treaty!

👋 58 of our member scientists are here at INC-4 in Ottawa to help answer your scientific questions! Get to know many of them and their areas of expertise using this handy overview. ➡️ ikhapp.org/news-and-event…

Touch down in Ottawa! Busy week ahead for team plastics at the INC4 Global Plastics Treaty Negotiations.

Great to have such a strong University of Plymouth team at #INC4, collective expertise on all aspects of plastic pollution including microplastics & tyre wear particles; & evaluation potential solutions such as clean-up technology, microfiber capture, plastics described as biodegradable

The pressure is on judging from the amount of advertising, lobbyists, aggressive tone vs scientists & merchandising of doubt at #INC4. If only this energy was used towards good solutions to solve the #Plastic #PollutionCrisis rather than perpetuating it for the profit of a few!

Brilliant attendance and discussion at our University of Plymouth side event yesterday during the UN plastic treaty negotiations in Ottawa. With over 100 participants covering 30 countries. Delegates listen and engaged with our expert panel on all things alternatives and substitutes to plastic
