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.

仅靠技术解决方案无法解决塑料危机，公众参与和行为起着关键作用。影响消费者行为正在成为全球环境政策的一个优先事项，也成为寻求实现可持续变革和塑造环保行为的工商界的一个优先事项。主要研究领域包括：跨学科合作，将社会科学家与自然和物理科学家、政府、企业和工业界聚集在一起，分享人文和社会科学的见解，以发展专注于塑料社会方面的强大研究绘制塑料和社会的社会文化全球背景，包括公众对塑料的理解;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，解决社区的生活经验以及从设计到使用它们如何与塑料相互作用。利用从其他复杂问题（例如，AMR）。分析人口异质性和塑料废物负担的不平等性，以及赋予人民和社区权力的挑战。为涉及政策制定者，企业，设计和行业的循环经济举措提供证据基础。
