Biocatalytic Membrane Reactors for micro-/nano- plastic pollutant remediation. Pathfinder Open 2022, a European Innovation Council (EIC), part of Horizon Europe (grant no. 101099528) and UK Innovation Funding Agency (UKRI) (grant no. 10062709).
The second part of #INC5 opened today in Geneva.
3,700+ participants from 184 countries are gathered to develop an international legally binding treaty on plastic pollution.
The session aims to approve text of the agreement for adoption at a future Diplomatic Conference: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...
The second part of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on plastic pollution #INC5 starts today in Geneva.
Negotiators from around the world are gathering in Geneva to work toward a #PlasticsTreaty to end plastic pollution.
