Public education is considered an important strategy for building long-term behavior change around plastic use and disposal.
Microplásticos: uma abordagem prática para produção de plástico biodegradável como estratégia de educação ambiental no ensino básico
Researchers surveyed 146 high school students in Gravataí, Brazil, on their awareness of microplastic pollution and then conducted a hands-on bioplastic production activity as an environmental education intervention. Results showed that approximately 71% of students had limited prior knowledge of microplastics, and the practical activity significantly improved awareness and motivated behavioral reflection about plastic consumption.
Inviting Environmental Awareness Through Small, Sustainable Acts: Medical Students Impacting the Community
Medical students in a developing country initiated small environmental awareness projects in underserved communities, including waste management education. The paper documents how grassroots community engagement by students can drive local behavior change around plastic pollution.
Sustainability in K-12 education: how can schools support students to address challenges of environmental sustainability?
This action research study examines how K-12 schools can promote environmental sustainability, finding that successful programs combine student education, school-wide practices, and community engagement to reduce environmental impact.
Can we investigate microplastic pollution with school students? Experiences from eight years of citizen science research
Researchers reported on eight years of citizen science microplastic research conducted with school students through the Plastic Pirates program, sharing methodological experiences and lessons learned from involving more than 24,000 participants across Germany and other European countries in rigorous environmental monitoring.

Disruptive Communication as a Means to Engage Children in Solving Environmental Challenges: A Case Study on Plastic Pollution
This paper presents a case study using disruptive communication strategies to engage children in addressing plastic pollution through an interactive campaign. The study found that participatory, child-centered approaches were effective at building environmental awareness and motivating behavior change around plastic use. Engaging young people in plastic pollution solutions is important for long-term reduction in the plastic waste that generates microplastics.
Raising environmental awareness: evaluating microplastic education interventions in Jakarta’s high schools
Researchers found that hands-on, interactive teaching methods work better than traditional lectures for helping high school students understand microplastic pollution (tiny plastic particles that can harm our health and environment). However, actually changing students' attitudes and behaviors about plastic use may require longer, more comprehensive programs. This matters because educating young people effectively about microplastics could help reduce plastic pollution that ends up in our food and water.
