UnPlastic was started by dr. Thijs Bosker, Associate Professor in Environmental Sciences, who saw the need for high quality plastic education at high schools. UnPlastic’s materials were created by a group of enthusiastic young people, who voluntarily contributed their hours to the research and design of the modules. Thank you to all of the people who contributed to UnPlastic’s creation: Roos Kolkman, Tessa Dool, Sara Markkanen, Markus Aarup, Julie Mathes, Tamara Silverstone, Anya Al-Salem, Iris Berghof, Sunaina Chander, Pien Soer, Daan de Leur, Cato Brinkhof, Nathalie IJdema, Clara Janbon, Jasmijn Kooi, Sena Korbee, Josephine Monnickendam, Pyry Eskelinen, Zoe Reining.
This website and teaching materials have been made possible thanks to the Dopper Changemaker Challenge and ZonMW project Food for Thought (grant number 04580012320002), which is part of Momentum 2.0: https://momentummicroplastics.nl/
