At the 2023 Global Plastics Forum, organized by the University of Rhode Island’s Plastics: Land to Sea initiative on May 15-16, 2023, local, national and global stakeholders gathered into working groups focused around three key topics–Sustainable textiles, developing international research networks, and centering equity and justice in marine plastics research.

The working groups were tasked with developing reports to track ideas and potential collaborations within these research topics. Visit the working group homepage for more information about this work post-forum.
