Measuring and reducing the plastic footprint: Ecodesign and Biodegradability in the Marine Environment

Measuring and reducing the plastic footprint: Ecodesign and Biodegradability in the Marine Environment

Plastic pollution is one of today's most pressing environmental challenges, impacting human health, the balance of ecosystems and the economy. This webinar, organized by Plastic at Sea with the support of Polymeris, is designed for professionals, researchers and industrialists committed to reducing the plastic footprint.

Program:

Experts will address key issues such as the nature of plastics as contaminants, their effects in the environment, and their impact on human health. You'll also discover concrete solutions, from quantifying plastic flows in the environment to measuring biodegradability under real marine conditions, as well as methods for testing the toxicity of plastics, whether recycled, biobased or conventional.

Introducing Plastic At Sea:

Plastic At Sea, located in the heart of a marine reserve, is a pioneer in helping companies measure the environmental impact of their products. Using innovative technologies, the Plastic At Sea team tests the biodegradability and toxicity of polymers, offering measurement solutions for more environmentally-friendly plastic production. This webinar will explore how these methods contribute to more sustainable practices.

Join this session to:

• Access the latest innovations in plastic leakage measurement and marine biodegradability.
• Discover Plastic At Sea's services to support the ecological assessment of your products.
• Learn how labels and concrete solutions can help your company stand out from the crowd.

This webinar is aimed in particular at:

• All polymer producers and plastic object processors concerned by the end-of-life of their products at sea.
• Suppliers of eco-designed materials
• Research laboratories and state institutions, environmental managers to measure plastic and microplastic pollution in waterways.
• Seafood operators (mussel farmers, oyster farmers, fishermen, etc.) to reduce the risk of contamination of products intended for human consumption.
