MICRO AND NANO-PLASTIC EUROPE - Towards Innovative Approaches to Cope with the Health and Environmental Impacts of Micro and Nano Plastics

The project proposed will contribute to a better understanding of the dynamics of micro and nano-plastics in the environment. Base on that will also identify the health impacts, and their relevance, of exposure to micro- and nano-plastics. The project will combine research and action, so as to generate knowledge. It will also have a focus on dissemination and suggest appropriate immediate actions to be taken to support the necessary societal and policy initiatives.' By doing so, the project MICRO AND NANO-PLASTIC EUROPE will provide concrete support to the the health-relevant aims of the European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy and of the Bioeconomy Strategy. It project is also expected to catalyse social interventions in the light of increasing plastic production and consumption.
