NSERC is partnering with Environment and Climate Change Canada ECCC to support research that will increase scientific knowledge to achieve Canada’s zero plastic waste targets and inform the advancement of plastics science policy and regulatory measures.
This call focuses on research that advances the science around plastic designs and alternatives, the sustainable use of plastics, and plastic waste diversion and recovery. This call will also build on previous research to detect and characterize plastics in the environment and the exposure and effects of plastics on wildlife and human health. For more information, please visit the NSERC webpage for this funding competition.
