CLIMATE MODELS — big computer models that use maths, physics and chemistry to characterise how energy and matter (solid, gas or fluid) flow between the hydrosphere (oceans, ice, rivers and lakes), atmosphere and land. This helps the researchers build up a picture of what conditions were like at specific times in the past. CHALLENGES.

The Lack of Sustainability in the Design Cycle: The Problem Behind Global Plastic Pollution

STEMe

Plastics also enter the food chain more directly, and research has discovered micro-plastic contamination in tap and bottled water and plastic contamination in sea salts in several countries. Different rates apply to different types of plastic packaging, with recycled plastics having the lowest rate and primary plastics having the highest.
