About
The International Research Association on Circular Economy (IRACE) offers a patented analytical method for the qualitative and quantitative determination of micro- and nanoplastics in both organic and inorganic matrices. The method supports accurate monitoring of plastic pollution across environmental, industrial, and health-related applications.
Developed within a One Health framework, this innovation enables integrated assessment of environmental contamination, human exposure, and ecosystem impact. It can be applied in soil, water, wastewater, biological samples, industrial by-products, and circular material streams.
This expertise contributes directly to Circular Economy implementation by improving traceability of plastic materials, supporting regulatory compliance, strengthening environmental risk assessment, and enabling science-based policy development. The method is relevant for research institutions, public authorities, industry stakeholders, environmental agencies, and EU-funded projects focusing on pollution prevention, climate mitigation, and sustainable material management.
IRACE is open to cooperation, research partnerships, and joint innovation projects at European and international level.
