🌊 The ocean speaks — in waves, in silence, in warning signs.
At @LABPLAS_H2020 , we’ve traced the journey of microplastics and remain committed to stopping them before they reach the sea.
💙 This #WorldOceansDay, stand with us.

🧫🌊 New from @LABPLAS_H2020 : Biofilm growth affects how microplastics move!
After 180 days, 76% of plastic films sank vs just 6% of fragments.
More biofilm = more weight = less buoyancy.
