Topics, Sessions And Talks
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.
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.
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.
