Spearheading the fight against plastic pollution on World Water Day

WWF Malaysia reported that only 24% of plastics in Malaysia were recycled in 2019. However, the government has set ambitious goals towards the sustainability and circular transition, aiming to achieve a 40% recycling rate by 2025.

AS the research on microplastics and human health advances, it becomes increasingly crucial to understand the implications and harmful effects microplastics may have on our well-being.

Recent research developments show potential risks associated with microplastic exposure. As highlighted by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in one blog post titled Microplastics On Human Health: How Much Do They Harm Us? from June last year, current evidence suggests that humans are constantly exposed to microplastics through various sources.
