H2020 Plastics in the environment: understanding the sources, transport, distribution and impacts of plastics pollution

ID: CE-SC5-30-2020

The aim of this action is to gain a better understanding on the sources, transport, distribution and impact of plastic pollution. The main areas for research activities should include:

• Sources of plastic pollution to different environmental compartments;
• Transport and pathways of plastics into and through different environmental compartments;
• Occurrence and distribution of plastic across all environmental compartments;
• Accumulation, including in soil and the food chain;
• Degradation mechanisms for different plastic materials under range of environmentally conditions;
• Physical and chemical effects of plastic pollution on different biotic and abiotic environments.
