This free online event brings together regulatory, academic and industrial speakers to stimulate discussion on the challenges and opportunities for researchers, industry and government. There are two thematic sessions on consequences of the drive to recycle plastics.  The first covers micro-plastics in the environment, their toxicology and associated risk assessment.  The second explores the complex issue of the toxicological significance of chemical migration from recycled plastics in food contact materials.

This is a stakeholder workshop to explore the challenge of plastic litter and littering to explore where research, innovation and investment could deliver positive change.

This free event will bring together stakeholders from academia, industry, regulatory, government and non-government organisations to discuss the current challenges surrounding plastic litter and littering and to identify what is needed to address this economic, environmental, and societal challenge.
