Source to Seas - Zero Pollution 2030

At the Zero Pollution Parliament, 33 stakeholders from 16 countries explored solutions for nutrients, hazardous substances, microplastics, and underwater noise. Insights will shape the Strategic Zero Pollution Framework & Roadmap of SOS-ZEROPOL2030. ow.ly/AqwC50YwN6t

🛑 Microplastics are a growing concern, but there's one major source that doesn't get enough attention: your car tyres! 🚗💨 Check out our latest comic Thread of Darkness 🔮 🌊🔬 soszeropol2030.eu/resources/2146/ #Microplastics #TyrePollution

Tyre wear particles are a major source of unintentionally released microplastics. A new SOSZeroPol study explores how a Source-to-Sea approach could improve policy integration across land, freshwater and marine systems under the European Green Deal. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
