EPReC aims to facilitate the exchange of information on research related to plastics dispersed in the environment, primarily targeting researchers and students both within and outside the university. We welcome participants from diverse fields, not only those studying plastics in soil, rivers, and oceans, but also those engaged in areas such as plastic waste management and bioplastic production. In addition to approaches from earth sciences, polymer science, and environmental toxicology, we also encourage the participation of researchers interested in environmental issues from a social science perspective. Of course, anyone who is simply curious or would just like to listen is also warmly welcome. Please feel free to join us.
