Amila Abeynayaka, PFN Scientific Committee member, explains what it takes to make plastic reduction efforts actually lower environmental impact, from composition to regional context to avoiding burden-shifting.
Valentina Pauna (representing NORSUS for the PFN Scientific Committee) explains why closing data gaps, improving plastic fate mapping, and collaboration are key to credible plastic footprinting.
Plastics are used across countless products and industries, yet understanding their full environmental consequences remains complex. Nils Thonemann, Assistant Professor at Leiden University and member of the PFN Scientific Committee, focuses on how environmental impacts from plastics are quantified and
Heath Logan, PFN Scientific Committee member, explains why better LCA data for plastic additives in textiles, footwear, and consumer goods is key to accurate footprinting.
Authors: Noémie Voirin Tricky plastics, big unknowns Plastics are everywhere, but not all microplastics are the same. Tires, paint chips, and synthetic fibers behave differently from the types most studied in oceans and rivers. Zoie Diana, interdisciplinary environmental scientist and PFN
Authors: Romain Bosson Saviez-vous que l’argent « dormant » sur nos comptes génère bien plus de CO₂ que l’ensemble de l’activité industrielle de la Suisse ? On parle beaucoup de l’empreinte carbone de nos déplacements, de notre alimentation ou de nos
Author : Noémie Voirin and Sarah Perreard Plastic pollution is often framed as a waste problem. But long before a product becomes waste, critical decisions have already been made — in material selection, design, sourcing, and performance requirements. Maider Iturrondobeitia Ellacuria works precisely at that upstream
Author : Noémie Voirin The Plastic Footprint Network (PFN) brings together scientists, companies, and policymakers to measure and reduce the impacts of plastics. Nadim Saadi, recently appointed co-chair of the PFN Scientific Committee, focuses on understanding the often-overlooked effects of microplastics and developing
Plastic Overshoot Day marks the point when the amount of plastic waste generated exceeds the world’s capacity to manage it, resulting in environmental pollution. In 2025, the global Plastic Overshoot Day is projected to occur on September 5th.
