Disposable wet-wipes as potential source of pollution: Multi-analytical investigation of the composition of fibres and additives
Wet wipes are used as disposable products for personal hygiene care, domestic cleaning, and sanitary use. Increased use of wet wipes as a consequence …

#INC5.2 of the #plasticstreaty negotiations has ended without a treaty. But rather than a setback, this offers the opportunity for a reset. The process delivered political will and good texts but could not overcome bad procedure. There are better options for a way forward: medium.com/@climatesail...
Rejecting a Weak Plastics Treaty, Countries Open the Door to Stronger Climate Ambition
When the gavel came down on the sixth round of plastics treaty negotiations (confusingly named INC 5.2) in Geneva, the mood in the room was…

Over the past few years, our PlastChem team has worked tirelessly to map the chemical complexity of #plastics. Today, we publish the findings in @nature.com. We hope this evidence propels the development of safer plastics to protect human health and environment. 1/4
