Single use plastics have infiltrated EU facilities and meetings to an alarming extent. Tweet us pictures of the #plastic infestation at #EUvebeenbottled

We got tired of commenting on #plastics in the EU institutions at every meeting, so we will tweet about it instead!

Italy finally adopted a national #singleuseplastic law last Friday to implement the 2019 #SUP directive. To raise the ambition, a strategy should be set to achieve consumption reduction by 2025, starting with the long awaited #plastictax!

[Seas At Risk @SeasAtRisk]

Italy implemented the EU #singleuseplastic directive 6 months late, with some exemptions for biodegradable and compostable plastics and coatings. More needs to be done to get consumption reduction, starting with the long awaited #plastictax! #StopSingleUsePlastic

📢 Toxic chemicals bad for human health & environment are found in lost plastic pellets across the globe - new study reveals.

Entrambi gli studi rivelano la presenza di additivi chimici tossici e inquinanti che rappresentano molteplici minacce per la salute dell’uomo e dell’ambiente. #toxicplastics https://t.co/kzC6X3CmAp

.@acousteau, the grand daughter of Jacques Yves Cousteau: "we've watched half the ocean disappear and we need to go beyond simply sustaining what is left of it, we need to rebuild #OurOcean". Maintaining the current status quo is insufficient and unacceptable"

.@VerbeekSAR on the #FutureOfOurSeas: "How to achieve good environmental status? We need to enforce the implementation of the #MSFD, introduce targets in sectoral policies that are coherent with those of the MSFD & tackle organisational deficit.” #MSFD #EUBiodiversity

Urgent ambitious measures are needed to tackle all sources of #PlasticPollution from ships. We call on
@IMOHQ to prevent ships from releasing #Plastics and #Microplastics in #OurOcean.

Approx 230,000t of #nurdles end up in #OurOcean every year.
It’s time @IMOHQ set obligations for industry to take responsibility to prevent these large scale #plasticpollution events.

Relieved to see #plasticpellets discussed at #OSPARMM21 and addressed by OSPAR contracting parties in a dedicated @osparcomm recommendation. We need more action at the EU level to prevent #microplasticpollution at source with mandatory measures @VSinkevicius @EU_Commission

The plastic dragon is back in Brussels and spitting plastic waste all over the world.
This is the opportunity for the @EU_Commission to slay the dragon by banning plastic #wastetrade!
