Für die SETAC Europe 2025 35th Annual Meeting (Vienna) besteht jetzt die Möglichkeit, Abstracts für eine spannende Session einzureichen. Fraunhofer co-chaired diese Session, die eine hervorragende Plattform bietet, um Forschungsergebnisse und Innovationen im Bereich Umweltwissenschaften zu präsentieren und neue Ideen zu diskutieren.
📌 Session-Thema: 3.06 Can Biodegradable Polymers Serve as a Safe and Sustainable Solution to Environmental Accumulation of Polymers?
Bridging the gap between the pressing issue related to the accumulation of polymers in the environment (e.g. macro-, micro- and nano-plastics) and the imperative for SSbD, this session will focus on the development and application of biodegradable polymers. By highlighting the environmental fate, ecotoxicity, human exposure, and toxicity of biodegradable polymers and their (bio)degradation intermediates (e.g. fragments), we aim to assess the potential of biodegradable polymers to offer safe and sustainable solutions. We will delve into the challenges and opportunities in designing safe and sustainable-by-design biodegradable polymers, identifying critical knowledge gaps, and outlining future research directions. This session aims to attract leading experts, including those who have demonstrated the accumulation of polymers in various environments and human tissues and those conducting pioneering research on polymer (bio)degradation and fragmentation. Ultimately, we seek to answer the critical question: “Can biodegradable polymers effectively mitigate the risks associated with the environmental accumulation of traditional polymers?"
Contributions can cover aspects related to any type or form of biodegradable polymers – from natural to synthetic materials, and from plastics to water- soluble polymers, – and should focus on one or more of following aspects: https://lnkd.in/e8uw_k99
