On 14 September 2024, as part of Slovenia’s Cleaning Action “Clean Coasts” (Čista obala), linked to the International Coastal Cleanup, our colleagues from the Slovenian’s National Institute of Chemistry (NIC) organized a special workshop “Secrets of Plastic” aimed at raising awareness among young people about plastic pollution and potential solutions. The workshop welcomed children to actively engage in the classification of plastic waste.
