Microplastics in glacial Ecosystems.
Extract of the proposal of technical sponsorship of the
Project dedicated to the evaluation of microplastics contamination in mountain
and glacial environments.
"Our Company, Bormioli Rocco spa, follows with interest
the research activities of the professors of the Department of Environmental
Sciences and Policies, particularly those related to ecological issues and
pollution caused by plastics in mountain environments.
We have read the Notice of Sponsorship posted on the Department's website on July 15, 2019. We believe that the aims of the research carried out by your Department are totally consistent with the spirit in which our firm develops its activities. We intend, therefore, to sponsor the Department of Environmental Sciences and Policies of the University of Milan by providing some Quattro Stagioni glass jars, specifically 100 Quattro Stagioni 20 cl jars and 100 Quattro Stagioni 50 cl jars, to support the research activities of Dr. Parolini and his staff in projects aimed at assessing the contamination by microplastics in mountain and glacial environments.
The Quattro Stagioni glass jars that we intend to supply
have become over time the icon for several projects dedicated to collect
consensus on the use of glass as the only healthy container, hygienic, inert,
unalterable over time and infinitely recyclable.
We are confident that you will accept this sponsorship offer
of ours, which will guarantee to your teachers the performance of their
research activities on microplastics contamination in mountain areas".
