#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.

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!

📢 A collision between a container ship and an oil tanker has caused a massive spill of industrial plastic pellets across 30 km of coastline and into a protected bay. These microplastics, which persist in the environment indefinitely, pose a serious threat to marine life and ecosystems.
