Europe on the ground in Karlsruhe with a discussion forum on the fight against microplastics
Europe Direct Karlsruhe and the Young Europeans Heidelberg Mannheim cordially invite you to address questions about (micro)plastic in our region: Why is plastic found in almost all materials and products? How does the Surfrider Foundation Baden-Pfalz campaign for a cleaner environment? And what role can the EU play here?
On the shelves, in the food, in the drink - in all areas of life we encounter plastic and thus microplastic. This is not only unhealthy, but also bad for the environment! Especially tricky: even if we can't see it, microplastic is there. That's why the European Commission has declared war on (micro)plastic with the Circular Economy Action Plan! And it is not alone, the fight against plastic and microplastics is also going on right on our doorstep, with state-of-the-art technology and joint actions.
In two short presentations, Dr. Katrin Schuhen of Wasser 3.0 and Robert Gampfer, policy officer for climate and environment at the European Commission Representation in Germany, will present the latest scientific approaches to combat the problem and explain the strategy to establish the circular economy in the EU. The results of the event will be collected as part of the Conference on the Future of Europe and made available on the platform for further debate.
