New funding targeted at finding plastic waste solution

NSW Government’s Plastic Research Fund has awarded three projects with AU$ 1.25 million to address plastic pollution and prevent landfill capacity in Greater Sydney. The Plastic Research Program is focused on making NSW a leader in managing plastic waste and the findings from these projects will guide future policies, regulations, and actions, as NSW is facing landfill crisis. The projects include: developing methods to analyze microplastics in soil, creating tools to identify harmful chemicals in agricultural soils, and studying harmful chemicals in polyester fabrics. Universities and government research institutions were invited to apply for funding under the Plastic Research Program.
