The vote was held by the environment committee of the European Parliament in its final days ahead of elections in early June. Under the resolution adopted the definition of plastic pellets used as feedstock in plastic product manufacturing and plastic recycling operations would be extended to powders, cylinders, beads and flakes.<\/p>\n<p>All businesses that handle plastic pellets would have to ensure that losses are avoided. Where spills and losses occur, they would be required to take immediate action to contain and clean these up. The regulation would also require businesses to establish a risk assessment plan for each installation that handles more than 1,000 tonnes a year of plastic pellets, showing the quantity handled annually and the chemical nature of each polymer involved. The changes will be applied in two years for large enterprises, three years for medium-sized enterprises and five years for small firms.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the EIA has issued a report Addressing the Issue Head-On \u2013 Measures on polymer production in the Global Plastics Treaty, which said that halting overall polymer production, coupled with measures to target the most dangerous and common types, could reduce annual plastic production by 64%. It said plastic waste that has been mismanaged, incinerated or landfilled could be reduced by 7.1 billion tonnes during 2025-2050 but that were polymer production to continue unchanged a further 17.7 billion tonnes of plastic would be produced during the next quarter of a century.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mrw.co.uk\/news\/meps-toughen-rules-on-plastic-pellet-pollution-24-04-2024\/\">MRW<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-515\/\">MEPs toughen rules on plastic pellet pollution<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,2844,5814,452],"class_list":["post-130000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-mep","tag-plastic-pellet","tag-pollution"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130000\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
