The European Commission is set to vote on measures to reduce the environmental impact of nurdles, tiny plastic pellets that pollute oceans and land. Nurdles are a significant source of microplastics, often lost during shipping incidents. The proposed regulations aim to enforce stricter handling and transportation protocols for nurdles, with a target of reducing pellet losses by 54% to 74%. Experts emphasize the need for comprehensive regulations to address the broader issue of plastic pollution. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
