Schoon en efficiënt:maatschappelijke kosten en baten van milieumaatregelen
Summary
Researchers conducted a social cost-benefit analysis of potential environmental measures for the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, evaluating the economic viability of various pollution reduction interventions. The study found many measures to be cost-effective but noted that optimistic assumptions about policy implementation efficiency may produce an overly positive picture of net benefits.
SEO onderzocht voor het ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat (IenW) de maatschappelijke kosten en baten van potentiële milieumaatregelen. Veel maatregelen blijken rendabel, maar er zijn ook onzekerheden. De aanname dat het beleid zodanig vorm krijgt dat het precies het beoogde effect heeft, leidt mogelijk tot een te positief beeld.

Study on financial cost evaluation of urban water environment management and pollution prevention and control
This paper is not about microplastics — it evaluates the financial cost-effectiveness of urban water environment governance in four Chinese cities, finding that treatment costs do not always translate to proportional environmental benefits.
Potential measures against microplastic emissions to water
This Dutch environmental report reviewed practical measures to reduce microplastic emissions to water from a range of product categories and industrial processes, evaluating their technical feasibility and expected impact. It provides a policy-relevant framework for prioritizing interventions to reduce microplastic pollution at the source.
Eco-efficiency of system alternatives of the urban water-energy-waste nexus
Researchers compared three approaches to redesigning a German neighborhood's wastewater system — from modest source-separation upgrades to a complete overhaul with integrated biogas production — and found that while all options meaningfully reduced environmental impact, the higher upfront costs made none of them cost-effective under current conditions. The study highlights the economic barriers to sustainable urban water infrastructure, even when environmental benefits are clear.
New Model for Quantifying the Impact of the Social Economy on Water Resources’ Sustainability
This study models correlations between social economy indicators and water resource sustainability across EU27 countries, finding that environmental protection spending tends to cover ecological objectives even when exceeding budget allocations. The study is not related to microplastic research.
