Research areasTechnical solutions alone cannot solve the plastics crisis and public engagement and behaviour plays a key role. Influencing consumer behaviour is becoming a priority in global environmental policy as well as for business and industry who are seeking to bring about sustained changes and shape pro-environmental behaviours. Key areas of research include:Interdisciplinary collaborations bringing together social scientists with natural and physical scientists, government, business, and industry and sharing insights from humanities and social sciences to develop robust research focused on social aspects of plastics Mapping the socio-cultural global context of plastics and society including public understandings of plastics; upstream (designing out waste) and downstream (recycling) solutions. Creating evidence-based interventions which address the lived experience of communities and how they interact with plastics from design to use. Mobilising insights and evaluating novel interventions using diverse methods transferred from other complex problems (e.g., AMR).Analysing population heterogeneity and the inequalities of the burden of plastic waste alongside challenges of empowering people and communities.Providing an evidence base for circular economy initiatives involving policy makers, business, design and industry.

仅研究培训解决方案就无法解决塑料危机，公众参与和行为起着关键作用。影响消费者的行为正在成为全球环境政策的优先事项，以及寻求带来持续变化并塑造亲环境行为的商业和行业。研究的关键领域包括：跨学科的合作，将社会科学家与自然和物理科学家，政府，商业和工业汇聚在一起，并分享了人文和社会科学的见解，以开发出强大的研究，这些研究重点介绍了塑料的社会方面，绘制了塑料的社会文化全球环境和社会的社会文化方面上游（设计废物）和下游（回收）解决方案。创建基于证据的干预措施，以解决社区的生活经验以及它们如何与设计之间的塑料相互作用。使用从其他复杂问题（例如AMR）转移的各种方法来动员见解并评估新的干预措施。人口异质性和塑料废物负担的不平等以及赋予人们和社区能力的挑战，以赋予人民和社区的挑战。为涉及政策制造商，企业，业务，设计和行业的循环经济倡议提供了证据基础。
