The Texas Plastic Pollution Symposium welcomes sponsors who value data-driven research and collaborative inquiry into the sources, impacts, and mitigation of plastic pollution. Support for this event enables researchers, practitioners, and resource managers to share current findings, compare methodologies, and advance best practices for monitoring, protection, and clean-up efforts across Texas. By sponsoring the symposium, your organization helps strengthen a statewide network focused on improving our scientific understanding of plastic pollution and informing practical, evidence-based solutions.
