Plastic Pellets Threaten Marine Life and Human Health
445,970 tons of plastic pellets pollute oceans, contaminating beaches and the marine food web. Microplastic exposure is linked to a 4.5‑fold higher risk of heart attack or stroke. Read more: getnews.me/plastic-pellets-threaten... #plasticpellets #microplastics

We explain all the details as the #EU institutions 🇪🇺 have just reached an agreement on a new regulation that sets obligations for companies that store #plasticpellets on their premises and for those that transport them.
The EU’s proposed rules on reducing #microplastics pollution – already in the hands of the European Parliament and Council – are now under attack by the very institution that proposed them: the Commission.

#PlasticPellets: Spill prevention requirements are only effective if they are ✨enforceable✨
If trilogue negotiations water down these requirements, they will leave ecosystems defenseless against #PelletPollution.

The pellet spill crisis on the English coast once again highlights the need for an ambitious #PelletsRegulation.
But #plasticpellets spills are not only caused by ship collisions & lost containers - they are spilled at each stage of the value chain.
We can only achieve a drastic reduction in pellet losses if ALL companies follow minimum requirements regarding packaging, transport, prevention, containment, retention & immediate cleanup of losses!

This chronic microplastic pollution from plastic manufacturers has to stop! Accidents are not the only source, most plastic production plants are also leaking their #plasticpellets into the surrounding environment!
Today #PlasticsTreaty #INC5 starts in #Busan
It's vital a robust final treaty addresses pellet loss across the full global #plasticpellets supply chain
