Every year, textile manufacturing generates an estimated 92,000 tonnes of microfiber losses during production, with 63%, more than 58,000 tonnes, reaching the environment. But where exactly does this pollution occur, how much is already being captured, and what would it
This report is the first global synthesis to systematically quantify the release of micro- and nanoplastics (MNP) from food packaging directly into food.
As plastic regulations tighten, businesses face growing regulatory challenges. This report with SAP explores how the UN Global Plastics Treaty can drive harmonization and how companies can leverage technology to streamline reporting, reduce risk, and advance circularity and sustainability.
Climate-focused Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluating the environmental impact of COVID-19 diagnostic tests.
Explore 20 years of research on microplastic pollution, uncovering key findings, global impacts, and strategies to tackle this critical environmental challenge.
Earth Action has today granted all governments access to its global plastic data platform Plasteax. Plasteax has been in use for over three years, offering reliable plastic production, leakage, and waste management metrics to a variety of high-profile organisations. Its
