The ITRC Microplastic Outreach Toolkit provides several materials focusing on microplastics that can be used for various outreach activities. Materials are formatted to allow some customization where appropriate. This toolkit has been developed by a group of volunteers from state and federal government agencies, industry, academia, and unaffiliated public stakeholders. Materials in the toolkit are based on the ITRC Microplastics Technical Document. The Outreach Toolkit is intended to serve as a resource for all stakeholders. For ease of use, outreach materials are grouped by the intended audience: general, including the public, educators, and K-12 students; those with a scientific or regulatory background; and decision makers (including legislators). A description of each stakeholder group is provided below as well as pointers for how to engage them.
Outreach materials in the Toolkit are intended for people to use when engaging with different stakeholders at events, meetings, conferences, in schools, etc.
