Our plastic research focuses on how local, state, and federal policy can effectively address the climate, health, and other environmental impacts created across the plastics supply chain. We focus on the structural challenges of recycling and the environmental justice implications of plastic-related exposures. A central theme of this research is to identify opportunities for policymakers to reduce overreliance on single-use plastics and assess the effectiveness and co-benefits of policies to reduce plastic waste.
