Read on to learn about the current state of ecodesign in the EU.
Interested candidates should be able to demonstrate in-depth technical and scientific knowledge on one or several sources of microplastics, as well as effective emission abatement strategies or pellet loss calculation methodologies. They should have a good understanding of state-of-the-art methodologies to detect and characterise microplastics in different biota, as well as about research into associated ecological impacts and risks to human health. Knowledge of plastics and textiles policies at international or national level will be considered an asset.
