This week, our rules on reducing plastic pellets, a major source of microplastics in the environment, came into force:
🧹 companies must have spill clean-up and risk management plans for packaging, handling, and equipment
🚛 non-EU carriers must have an EU representative
📃 operators handling >1500 tonnes of pellets annually need to obtain a certificate of compliance
⛴️ requirements for maritime transport
For us, our oceans and wildlife.
