Over fifty years later from its inception, Earth Day is still observed as a reminder to refocus our efforts to protect the environment.

Reheating food in the microwave is something we do every day. But what happens when plastic covers are constantly exposed to heat?

Plastisphere is the the diverse microorganism communities that are rapidly colonising the porous and rough suface of microplastics.

Vision affects behaviour, attention, learning and processing. Different parts of our brain are activated through different stimuli. Find out how GreenSeas Trust has on capitalised on peripheral vision to change littering behaviour.

From packaging to electronics, construction materials to clothing, plastics are everywhere. This rapid expansion of plastic use is outpacing the development of effective waste management solutions.

Every year at Halloween, thousands of tonnes of plastic waste are generated from millions of plastic-laden costumes, single-use decorations, and sweet wrappers.

The cacophony of screeching gulls swooping down to swipe some of your chips may seem a nuisance, but seabirds help to maintain balance in marine environments.

Single-use plastic water bottles are designed for one-time use, meaning it degrades rapidly. Reusing these water bottles might be more dangerous than you think.

Even before the plastic flows into the sea, it can wreak havoc on river ecosystems. It kills wildlife, harms the water quality.

Packaging made from kelp is biodegradable and non-toxic. At the end of its life cycle they won’t pollute our planet or break down into microplastics. But is the picture all rosy?
