How EU policy can tackle microplastic pollution
Microplastics are everywhere in the environment in the ocean and on land, even in remote regions of the world still considered pristine. As plastic pollution is expected to increase by 33-36% by 2025, and even more by 2030, we need effective and sustainable solutions to prevent microplastic contamination and minimise its impacts. This brochure presents the recommendations to EU policy makers developed by the EEB, Seas at Risk, ECOS and Surfrider Foundation Europe.
