The National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) has scheduled a second Public Webinar for June 6, 2023 – “… Breakdown of bulk plastics to micro- and nanoscale particles in the environment has further challenged efforts to understand the potential human and environmental impacts of plastics over their full life cycles … This webinar provides an overview of the key activities of U.S. Government agencies in tackling this challenge … The panel of speakers are participants in the informal U.S. Government nanoplastics interagency interest group that coordinates activities on this subject … and will provide highlights of agency programs and activities. The first session on May 22 focused on activities of agencies that primarily fund or conduct research. This second session … will focus on activities of agencies with regulatory responsibilities or that engage in interagency or international collaborations on the subject of micro- and nanoplastics … visit https://www.nano.gov/PublicWebinars for more information …” #PlasticWaste #SingleUsePlastic #MicroPlastics #NanoPlastics #Nanotechnology @NNInanonews
Animal Digestible Food Packaging Initiative
Our reason-for-being/goal/purpose/objective/intent is to convince/inspire/persuade/encourage the food processing industry to establish and fund a public private partnership for the discovery of new food packaging materials that would be digestible by animals (farm animals as well as ubiquitous microbes).
