Topic microplastics and nanoplastics
Last Friday (February 23, 2024), we had the opportunity to participate in the networking meeting of the Microplastics-Free Alliance and learn about the highly topical and controversial issue of #microplastics. Following the engaging and informative presentations, we were also able to interview Daniel Steinitz (Managing Director of the Microplastics-Free Alliance) and Assistant Professor Christian Zafiu (Institute for Waste and Circular Economy ABF-BOKU) on this topic.
