🔍 Microplastics are in the food we eat and in the water we drink. They are everywhere – in the seas, rivers, and on land. European Commission has just adopted new measures to restrict microplastics intentionally added to products under the EU chemical legislation REACH. Among the products affected: 💧 Cosmetics containing microbeads, ⚽ The granular infill material used on artificial sport surfaces, ✨ Detergents, fabric softeners, glitter, fertilisers, plant protection products, toys, medicines and medical devices, just to name a few. These new rules are a major step towards fighting microplastic pollution as they will prevent the release to the environment of about half a million tonnes of microplastics over 20 years! #EUGreenDeal #ZeroPollution
