¿Contaminan menos lo bioplásticos? La contaminación por plásticos es un gran reto medioambiental, actúa.

🌊🔬 Last week, we took part in the Erasmus MARIS teacher training programme on microplastics, a European initiative that combines citizen science, marine education, and environmental monitoring. Erasmus MARIS aims to engage schools and teachers in harmonised microplastic monitoring through scientific protocols and hands-on learning, helping build a collaborative network for environmental awareness and research.

The training brought together teachers for theoretical and practical sessions on microplastic sampling, laboratory analysis, and scientific data management, providing tools to bring environmental science into the classroom and strengthen ocean literacy.

It was great to see such enthusiasm and engagement throughout the sessions — a very successful training experience! 🌍♻️

🌱🔬 Earlier this spring, we harvested the fruits from Andrea's experimental crops.

Her research deals with microplastics in crops.

We are now moving into the analytical phase in the laboratory. 🧪

🌱♻️ Last Tuesday, May 5th, we had the opportunity to participate in the "I Feria de la Sostenibilidad" organized by the Universidad de Alicante.

During the event, we shared the work carried out at Bioplastic Lab, focusing on the impacts of plastic pollution, as well as the importance of developing more sustainable solutions through research and innovation. 🔬🌍

It was a great experience to connect with students, researchers, and visitors interested in sustainability, circular economy, and environmental protection.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to learn more about our projects and research! 💚

Last Monday, we had the pleasure of welcoming students from CY Cergy Paris Université (France) to our facilities. 🎓🌍

During their visit, we presented some of our ongoing research projects, including ViSS and Agrimicro, while fostering international collaboration and student exchange opportunities.

Encounters like these help build connections, share knowledge, and inspire future scientific cooperation. 🤝🔬

🌱♻️ ¡Nos vemos en la I Feria de la Sostenibilidad!

El próximo martes 5 de mayo, el equipo de Bioplastic Lab estará presente en la feria organizada por la Universidad de Alicante.

📍 Biblioteca General (Soportales)
⏰ De 10:00 a 14:00

Será una gran oportunidad para compartir nuestro trabajo en el estudio de los impactos de la contaminación por plásticos en distintos entornos, como los sistemas agrícolas y urbanos.

¡Te esperamos para aprender, compartir y sumar juntos por el planeta! 🌍💚

Last week, we held a meeting for the in Alcoy, Spain.

Developing circular systems that transform waste into valuable resources is key to conserving our planet’s natural resources. In this project, we work on using food waste as part of the feedstock to produce bioplastics, contributing to more sustainable material solutions.

A special thank you to AITEX for organizing the meeting, for the warm welcome, and for showing us their facilities.

We are happy to keep advancing! ♻️🔬

Last Saturday, February 21st, we carried out a citizen science beach clean-up as part of the at Agua Amarga beach in Alicante 🌊☀️♻️

In 100 meters of shoreline, we collected a total of 25,65 kg of waste. The most common items found were:

🔹 Plastic fragments < 2.5 cm
🔹 Plastic fragments > 2.5 cm
🔹 Construction debris
🔹 Cotton bud sticks

This activity aimed to raise awareness about plastic pollution and its impact on our coastal ecosystems. Plastic waste doesn’t just disappear — it breaks down into smaller pieces, persists in the environment, and can severely affect marine wildlife through ingestion, entanglement, and habitat disruption.

Citizen science actions like this help generate data while fostering environmental responsibility. Together, small actions can make a big difference 🌍

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who made this clean-up possible — your time, energy, and commitment truly make a difference for our oceans 🌊💙

As part of the AGRIMICRO project, we are currently extracting microplastics from agricultural soil samples — the previous step before counting and identifying the plastic types present in each sample 🧑‍🔬🔬

16/02/2026

Since December 2025, the new European Soil Monitoring Law (EU 2025/2360) requires the monitoring and management of the health of all soils across the EU.

At Bioplastic Lab, we are working on the AGRIMICRO project, funded by the Conselleria de Educación, Cultura, Universidades y Empleo of the Generalitat Valenciana, to provide a global estimate of microplastic pollution in farmland. This knowledge is essential to understand its impacts and help mitigate this growing problem 🌾🥽🔬
