How can we effectively clean plastics retrieved from water bodies to make them suitable for recycling? The latest report, "Pathways for Cleaning Collected Ocean-Bound Plastic", prepared by a team from the Department of Environmental Technology (Dr. Eng. Patrycja Jutrzenka-Trzebiatowska, Dr. Eng. Emilia Gontarek-Castro, and Dr. Eng.
