Increase the focus of science on microplastics and human health and on plastics additives and human health. In a science and research agenda, that needs to be underscored. Work through NSERC and SSHRC. Support the development of an independent science and indigenous knowledge panel globally that can help steer the implementation of a global plastics treaty that is evidence-based and that addresses the need for global co-operation in science. Urge, on the policy front, a focus on systems redesign as opposed to material redesign. Although I understand that some material redesign will be important, with our bigger problems today, the priority really needs to be on systems redesign.
