Exciting news! This week, 5 Gyres’ Microplastics Scientist, Dr. Victoria Fulfer, is heading to Antarctica! ❄️🔬

Before heading south, she painted a picture of what the journey has in store. She’ll be collecting samples from the water, soil, and air to better understand how microplastics travel, settle, and persist, even in the most remote places on Earth.

Will she find microplastics? Stay tuned for more updates from the field! 🐧

The Edu4plastiC consortium, togheter with I&S Company and four prestigious academic institutions: the University of Insubria, the University of Trento, the National University of Mongolia (NUM) and the Mongolian University of Life Sciences (MULS), decided to colaborate to tackle the global challenge of polymer pollution and to fosters a new generation of environmentally conscious professionals.
• University of Insubria & University of Trento: as leaders in environmental chemistry, engineering, and sustainability, can provide scientific supervision and methodological frameworks.
• National University of Mongolia (NUM) & Mongolian University of Life Sciences (MULS): could lead monitoring and data collection, focusing on microplastic contamination in water resources and the food chain within Mongolia’s extreme climatic conditions.
• I&S Company (https://www.ies.it/): could implement the engineering solutions to collect and transform plastic waste into secondary raw materials.
• Edu4plastiC (https://microplastics.today/): could provide educational courses, dissemination of the research findings and arise the environmental awareness through specialized digital tools: https://elearningproject.eu/courses/edu4plasticircular-educating-for-sustainable-plastic-use-and-circular-economy/.

Let's make a better, cleaner and environmentally friendly World !

🌿 January 26 – Environmental Education Day
A reminder that the future of our planet depends on the choices we make every single day. Plastic, once a solution, has become one of the greatest threats to ecosystems, human health, and the generations to come.
♻️ Let’s act, not just observe.
The academic community has the power to turn knowledge into real change.

EDU4PlastiCircular: Educating for Sustainable Plastic Use and Circular Economy — Elearningproject.eu Introduction Plastics are everywhere in our daily lives. Their production has grown exponentially worldwide over the past two decades, except during the recent pandemic period. Under the EU Green Deal (EGD), 55% of plastic packaging must be recycled by 2030 to reduce not only its ecological footprin...
