Listen out for our colleague @m_izzi on #BBCInsideScience on @BBCRadio4 - talking about the crucial topic of #CircularEconomy and #CriticalMinerals in response to @RoyalMintUK recovering gold from old mobile phones: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

If you'd like to take part you need to: 👉 complete it by midnight on Monday 4th September 👉 be over 18 and living in the UK You don't need to know anything about electronic waste! Thank you

What do you do with electrical items (e.g. phones kettles, laptops) when you are no longer using them? Please tell me in this short survey on electronic waste and help me with my research for my MSc in Sustainability and Behaviour Change. smartsurvey.co.uk/s/EWaste/

Expected by many to be a game changer in #Ocean governance, a new legally binding agreement on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction #BBNJ was adopted after 17 years of talks Summary ➡️ enb.iisd.org/marine-biodive…

UK chemistry is contributing to a healthier, more sustainable world and a stronger economy. Read "Insights from REF2021", prepared by @rschconsulting, on how chemical scientists use new discoveries and knowledge transfer to make the world a better place ➡️ rsc.li/ref2021

Our colleague @korbel_daniel is at INC-2 #PlasticsTreaty meeting this week in Paris. These negotiations are about how to deal with #plasticpollution. As a not-for-profit science & tech organisation and accredited UNEP stakeholder, we are able to join as an observer.

What should you put in which bin? It isn't always easy to know how to recycle your plastics and other waste. Overall, we want to follow the resource hierarchy - directing our efforts towards reducing plastic consumption & reusing products before eventually recycling or composting

Time is running out if you want to join us and @RoyalSociety for our sustainability conference on Tuesday and Wednesday. Be part of the discussion about how we can reduce the environmental impact of research and innovation. Sign up now: rsc.li/royal-society

On 3 April we are hosting a webinar in partnership with @CMA_Minerals exploring the new EU battery regulations and its implications for the UK battery materials sector. Read more about the fantastic panellists and sign up here ⬇ eventbrite.co.uk/e/impact-of-ne…

Today is #WorldWaterDay. We need clean water & healthy oceans for our well-being and that of our planet. Chemistry helps us unpick the problems & prevent pollution – but we also need policy to support a #circulareconomy in which we consume fewer resources & create less waste.

Today is #GlobalRecyclingDay and we’ve collated a thread to explain why recycling is important and how the chemical sciences can be part of the solution.

On 3 April, CMA’s Circular Economy working group is hosting a webinar in partnership with the @RoySocChem on the impact of the EU’s new battery regulations on the UK. Sign up to watch our expert panel discuss topics from traceability to waste recycling! eventbrite.co.uk/e/impact-of-ne…

The Chancellor of the Exchequer's Budget statement once more raised the government's ambition for the UK to be a "science and technology superpower", and our policy teams have been analysing the speech... ➡rsc.li/3LqhYKh

Nearly 1 in 3 science teachers in English secondary schools are planning on leaving teaching within 5 years. High workload, stress and exhaustion highlighted as major factors in decisions to quit, according to @RoySocChem survey tes.com/magazine/news/…

If you are interested in the experiences of science teachers and technicians this new report is an important read. You can also register to take part in the 2023 survey here: smartsurvey.co.uk/s/scienceteach…

Do chemists and physicists think differently? Here @IOPTeaching's @charlesmtracy and @RoySocChem's Izzi Monk discuss this and other important points about differences in reasoning and learning between the sciences 👩🏾‍🔬 edu.rsc.org/feature/what-a… #SciEd #scienceteachers #edutwitter

Our Lead Policy Advisor Dr. Camilla Alexander-White is in Bangkok speaking on behalf of the science and technical community at the @UNEP working group – to establish a science-policy panel on chemicals, waste and the prevention of pollution.
