Hannah De Frond is a plastic pollution scientist working at the forefront of global efforts to tackle the environmental and health impacts of plastic waste. With a career grounded in rigorous research and real-world application, she focuses on bridging the gap between science, communities and policy to develop evidence-based solutions to the plastic crisis. Hannah’s body of work includes more than 25 peer-reviewed scientific publications, spanning several topics from documenting microplastics in the environment, food and water, to exploring how citizen science data on pollution in rivers, lakes and coastlines can be used to develop policies to tackle pollution. Whether addressing microplastics in marine ecosystems or promoting community-based interventions, Hannah combines her scientific expertise with a commitment to collaboration and impact. Hannah has led international studies to develop methods for monitoring microplastics in drinking water, and currently manages the International Trash Trap Network, a global initiative uniting local groups using technologies to clean waterways, collect plastic pollution data and build momentum for upstream change.

Tiny Plastics, Big Problems: Understanding and Tackling Microplastic Pollution

Microplastics have infiltrated every corner of the planet, including our food and water. In this talk, Hannah De Frond breaks down what microplastics are, how they travel through ecosystems, and why they matter. Drawing on cutting-edge research, she reveals the threats these tiny pollutants pose and shares hopeful, science-backed solutions that are already making a difference. Audiences gain a clearer understanding of the issue and what can be done to mitigate its effects.

Think Global, Act Local: Fighting Plastic Pollution in Your Community

Plastic pollution is often framed as a global crisis, yet its most effective solutions often begin at the community level. Hannah De Frond demonstrates how grassroots action, from household changes to data-driven citizen science, can push forward meaningful change. With practical insights and inspiring examples, this session offers a roadmap for local environmental stewardship that resonates with everyday individuals, educators and policymakers alike.

Plastic Cleanup Technologies: Hype or Hope?

As new plastic cleanup technologies gain attention, questions arise about their real-world impact. Hannah De Frond draws on her research and international field experience to examine the effectiveness and limitations of these tools. Highlighting work from initiatives like the International Trash Trap Network, she unpacks the role of cleanup within a broader strategy. This session challenges assumptions and explores how innovation fits into a more systemic, lifecycle-based approach to plastic pollution.
