Conference Proceedings for the Status Conference of the Research Focus "Plastics in the Environment – Sources • Sinks • Solutions"

Presenting the Joint Research Projects and Cross-cutting Topics

The pollution caused by plastics in the environment is constantly growing and is receiving increasing public attention. The research focus "Plastics in the Environment" funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is designed to address the still insufficient state of knowledge.


The proceedings of the status conference briefly present the 20 joint research projects funded under the research focus. In addition, the work on the six cross-cutting topics of the research focus is explained. The six cross-cutting topics are:

  1. Analytics and Reference Materials
  2. Evaluation Methods of Possible Effects of Plastics on the Environment (incl. toxicity)
  3. Terms and Definitions
  4. Social and Political Dimension
  5. Modelling, Data Management (incl. Life Cycle Assessment)
  6. Recycling and Product Design
