Latest news
A landmark study published in Environmental Advances (DOI: 10.1016/J.ENVADV.2025.100644) has, for the first time, mapped small microplastics (10 µm–5 mm) across a wide range of coastal environments along the European Atlantic seaboard.
Last Wednesday, July 16th, 2025, Professor Ricardo Beiras captivated attendees at the Advancing Plastics Circularity Conference (Plastics Recycling and Upcycling Gordon Research Conference) held at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester, New Hampshire, USA.
After four years, the EU H2020-funded LabPlas (LAnd-Based solutions for PLAStics in the Sea) project has officially wrapped up—delivering groundbreaking science and policy guidance on marine microplastic pollution.
