Background and Purpose
The forum aims to promote a society with zero plastic, to share the environmental issues caused by plastics and to find solutions to reduce the negative impact on the ecosystem.
We would like to examine the effects of plastics on the environment, ecosystem and health, and look for ways to minimize the impact.
