Plastic pollution has long been recognized as an environmental problem. Research now suggests that microplastics are also a human health problem. BRPC has partnered with the Toxics Use Reduction Institute on a three-pronged approach to addressing each of these problems: 1. Development of public-facing materials on how everyday citizens can reduce their exposure to microplastics, 2. Development of educational materials for food establishments on how to explore safe alternatives to single-use plastic containers, 3. Development of a toolkit for municipalities on the subject of plastics reduction bylaws.
