#Plastics have become essential to everyday life but what exactly are they doing to the #environment and what can we do differently to limit their impact?

#Microplastics have now been found thousands of meters beneath the sea surface in the sea bed and along coastlines across the globe.

In this video, #scientists funded by NERC and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council tell us about their #research to understand and combat the issue and Marks and Spencer Director of #Sustainable Business Mike Barry talks about the retail sector's need for world class research and #innovation.
