Last week, @Europarl_EN failed to vote for an ambitious timeline to address tyre abrasion emissions.
This is especially concerning, as “tyres are the 2nd largest quantified source of #Microplastic pollution in Europe,” says our Natacha Claire Tullis. https://t.co/KrHA2NgE8c
Missed opportunity in #Euro7!
Tyres are a leading contributor to #Microplastic pollution in Europe, but @Europarl_EN has failed to urgently address this growing problem.

One of the leading sources of EU #PlasticPollution: 🚗 Tyres
Currently, particles shed by tyres are unregulated. @Europarl_EN can change that by voting for the #Euro7 proposal, which aims to limit #microplastic emissions.

Breaking: @Europarl_EN supports regulating tyre abrasion in #Euro7 but fails to secure a more ambitious timeline for regulating #Microplastic pollution from light and heavy trucks.
Tyre pollution from trucks and buses could potentially continue to be unregulated until 2035.
🚗🚌🚛
In the EU alone, tyres generate a staggering 450,000 metric tonnes of microplastic pollution each year.
@Europarl_EN can make a u-turn on tyre pollution by voting for more ambitious legislation to limit emissions. https://t.co/wSyFuXzw0n
🗳️🌏 @Europarl_EN could make history this week by voting to set limits on tyre particle emissions.
The #Euro7 proposal is a chance to make a u-turn on one of the leading #microplastic pollutants. https://t.co/wSyFuXzw0n
I welcome the news of the 1️⃣st 🇮🇹 signatories of the #MissionOcean Charter in the Mediterranean, including @ComunediGenova and @Regione_Sicilia👏
Looking forward to seeing the blue transition moving forward in other sea and river basins!🌊💧🐟
