ABOUT THE REPOSITORY

The Microplastics Repository results from an initiative within the framework of different research projects.

​​WHAT WE DO

But is also necessary to develop efforts for mitigating the already astonishing amount of plastics in our soils and oceans. And some fungi may be the answer...
