An important component of the ATLANTIS project is the development of global models for impacts of plastic debris on marine ecosystems, in accordance with the life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) framework. As a means towards achieving this goal, we have developed an indicator of potential macroplastic entanglement impact levels, which

"My goal is to distinguish introduction pathways of invasive species in marine environments and quantify the impacts of invasive species on marine ecosystems"

On 24 March 2021 the first, virtual, ATLANTIS workshop was held. The workshop had almost 30 attendees and a very diverse speaker list from around the world. After a general introduction into the project, life cycle assessment and the current framework for including plastic waste into life cycle impact assessment

We are excited to announce the first workshop for the ATLANTIS project on 24th March 6pm CET. The aim of this online workshop is to present the project and some preliminary results to an audience of interested persons, to inform stakeholders about the ongoing work, but also to get feedback

Francesca has been invited to present the ATLANTIS project and the MariLCA initiative on 17 March 2021 , 11:15 GMT. This is a webinar series from the African Waste Academy, presenting each week a different speaker connected to the issue of plastic waste in the ocean. For more information see

Which item in your life can be a common pollutant? If you were being questioned, you may immediately think of Plastic. Yes, plastic is very widely used in our life and pollution due to plastic has been an emerging, global environmental problem in the past few decades. Among all the

There is no doubt that the increasing plastic pollution of the world's oceans has also reached Norway. Plastic bottles, fishing nets and countless other plastic items can now be found even on the most remote coastline stretches in the far north of Norway and are no longer only

… is calling on master’s students, PhD candidates and other young researchers in South Africa and in Norway to join forces in combating plastic waste and preventing marine pollution. To succeed in this fight, before it is too late, we need more data and new knowledge as a foundation for
