European Parliament Strengthens Fight Against Microplastic Pollution
The European Parliament has adopted a regulation to combat microplastic pollution, targeting industrial plastic granules (IPGs) used in plastic object manufacture.
The new regulation extends the responsibility of polluters, including carriers, and imposes strict rules for incident prevention and reporting.
The text, resulting from a compromise between MEPs, the European Commission, and member states, was adopted without amendments or motions of rejection.
- Industrial plastic granules are produced in millions of tons annually by the petrochemical industry.
- They are transported to plastic product manufacturers, posing a risk of microplastic pollution.
