What does a low plastic meal look like? 🌽🥦🌶️🫛🥒🥑🥕🥬
It’s a meal that’s cooked with fresh ingredients (well washed), prepared and served with non-plastic kitchenware (like stainless steel, glass, wood or ceramic); with any leftovers stored in non-plastic containers.
Looks delicious! 👌😋

Are you interested in how exposure to plastics might impact fertility?
The PERTH Trial is a plastic reduction, lifestyle study, at the UWA Medical School. Researchers are looking at ways to improve health by reducing plastics in our day-to-day lives. Stage 4 of the PERTH Trial is looking at male fertility.
Interested community members will advise researchers on the best way to run the trial, approach sensitive questions, and guide the research.
If you have lived experience of male infertility, either yourself or someone close to you, please fill in the Expression of Interest form (link in bio ⬆️) and one of the PERTH Trial team will be in touch.
