Microplastics are plastic particles less than 5 millimetres in size, originating from the breakdown of larger plastic debris. These particles can easily disperse through water and air, making their way into various ecosystems and, ultimately, our bodies.

With the volume of research on the health impacts of microplastics surging in recent years, we’re dedicating this Plastic-free July to diving deep into this topic.
