Will companies cut down on microplastic pollution? Microplastics are among the worst polluters for all ecosystems and can be harmful to all life. We look at how new regulations could reduce the contamination that often occurs during the transport of p...

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 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!
