Microplastics are everywhere: 70% reduction achievable: In the Netherlands, the main sources of microplastics are tyre abrasion, packaging, and agricultural foil
Original title: Microplastics zijn overal: reductie met 70% haalbaar: Autobanden, verpakkingen en landbouwfolie zijn in Nederland de grootste bronnen van microplastics [microplastics are everywhere: 70% reduction achievable: In the Netherlands,the main sources of microplastics are from tyre abrasion, packaging, and the use of agricultural foil]
Summary
This Dutch-language report summarizes findings that microplastics are now ubiquitous in the environment and identifies tire abrasion, plastic packaging waste, and agricultural plastic film as the largest sources of microplastics in the Netherlands. The report concludes that a 70% reduction in microplastic emissions is achievable through targeted interventions.
Microplastics zijn inmiddels overal te vinden en in groeiende hoeveelheden aanwezig in het milieu. Slijtage van banden, zwerfafval (verpakkingen) en gebruik van landbouwfolie zijn voor Nederland de voornaamste bronnen van microplastics.
