Description

This project seeks to address the concerns raised by councils, industry, governments and communities over microplastics and component materials to directly address gaps on the prevalence and impact of microplastic pollution. This includes understanding the sources and generators of microplastics and the finalisation of a national protocol for measuring and monitoring microplastics, providing deeper insights for policy.
