Stand with us against microplastic contamination! 'Biodegradable' films promised #sustainability but caused pollution. With your help, we will appeal to the European Union about their responsibility in revising the EU Fertiliser Regulation: https://t.co/SBeyPW4uh8 #Microplastics

@WUR findings reveal shocking truth: Agricultural fields in NL & Spain are heavily contaminated with #microplastics! 'Biodegradable' agricultural films are a major culprit, proving to be far from eco-friendly.

14 miljard! Belastingvrijstelling voor aardolie dat verwerkt wordt voor de productie van plastic. Stop deze onzin! #plastic #PlasticPollution

[Plastic Soup Foundation @plasticsoupfoun]

New research links #microplastics to behavioural changes similar to #dementia ! Yes, you read correctly: these plastic particles can even cross the blood-brain barrier. We can no longer ignore the fact that #plastic pollution is also a health crisis. https://t.co/Jql1HjxNtg

Zeker teleurstellend! We zijn het helemaal eens met staatssecretaris Vivianne Heijnen, het is de hoogste tijd dat er meer inleverpunten bijkomen. #statiegeld #zwerfafval #plastic #plasticsoep https://t.co/KzB9JMmWZp

The best way to tackle plastic pollution is to prevent it in the first place.

Governments, businesses, civil society, and academia can all be part of the solution to #BeatPlasticPollution.

*A good start! Plastic Health Symposium*
MEPs, scientists, industry, and NGO’s talked @EU : More cooperation and legislation. “Plastics make us sick. It has to stop now.” White Paper is on its way. Follow us and let’s make a wave!

FINALLY! #REACH Committee voted to adopt
@EU_Commision
proposal to restrict intentionally-added #microplastics in products. We fought for years for this ban. But industry has been given 12 years to implement. Way too slow! https://t.co/x4U8b8s8xK #plastic #cosmetics #microbead

Well done @ClientEarth! Plastic Soup Foundation and 12 other NGOs, has been fighting for years to stop the construction of the new INEOS plant in Antwerp.

Did you know that a single tube of exfoliating face wash can contain over 300,000 plastic microbeads? That's enough to cover a tennis court! https://t.co/EAbv66E3dR #plasticfreeproducts #saynotoplastic #cosmetics #beatthemicrobead #plasticsoupfoundation
