Overview of Plastic Pollution in 2022

  • Plastic pollution in the world and major policies regarding the plastic issues

  • Maybe have a section dedicated to plastic policies in Africa?

  • Maybe have a section dedicated to recycling? - fish nets, bed nets,

  • Maybe how COVID has affected anything?

Plastic and Value Chains

  • Plastic production - substitute of plastic packaging, using different materials, etc

  • Waste treatment - absorbing/dissolving the pollutants, recycling/upcycling

Microplastics and Health Implications

  • Microplastic in animals

  • Microplastic in human organs and potential threats

This webinar will cover the effects of microplastics on human health. We are hoping to invite at least three scientists in the field close to the subject to attend the event as guest speakers and discuss how the spread of microplastics throughout the environment, as well as their increased prevalence within various foods and as a result, the human diet, are currently affecting us in a variety of ways, and how they will likely affect us in the future.
