They’re too small to see, yet impossible to ignore. From paint to skincare, microplastics are in many everyday products. But do they need to be?
In Episode 2 of Future Makers, Zoe meets the researchers and innovators proving that there are better natural alternatives to microplastics.
She tries out Paint Zero, a plant-based paint reinventing the industry and puts her skincare knowledge to the test with Naturbeads’ innovative solution for cosmetics. She also talks to a scientist from the British Antarctic Survey about microplastics’ impact on ocean life and what that means for us.
Future Makers – In this new series, we bring you into the world of UKRI-funded researchers or innovators working on ideas that will genuinely improve our lives. Real people, real stories and real impact.
