Monitoring Plastic Pollution in Frøya's Archipelago with AI

In the peaceful waters of Frøya's Archipelago, located off the coast of Norway, a silent crisis unfolds: plastic is polluting hundreds of small islands. This newly initiated project in the archipelago seeks to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor and combat the plastic pollution washing up on its

A new framework to model marine plastic litter impacts in LCIA models

A new framework to model marine plastic litter impacts in LCIA models

Although marine plastic pollution is a well-recognized and highly visible problem, impact models for most of the main impacts from plastic litter are still lacking within Life Cycle Assessment. To coordinate research progress, and to ensure that the impacts are modelled in a harmonized way, Woods et al. developed a
