Denmark asks the EU to help close the microplastics knowledge gap

  • 2018-01-22

The Danish government has strongly urged the European Commission to help bridge the knowledge gap regarding microplastics when formulating future EU plastics policies. The Danish government stated that for microplastic reduction targets to be successfully achieved, the European Commission must strengthen knowledge dissemination regarding microplastics. Only with a strong knowledge base can plastics strategies be effectively implemented. The negative environmental impacts of microplastics and the process by which plastics break down into microplastics in natural and artificial water systems need to be revealed and disseminated to the general public. Currently, the general public's understanding of the sources of microplastics is limited to microbeads added to personal care products. However, in reality, microplastics originate from plastic products and gradually break down into plastics during use and after disposal, entering the environment and water bodies. Therefore, knowledge about microplastics must not only include their sources but also clearly explain their impacts to raise public awareness of the potential environmental damage caused by microplastics. In addition to disseminating knowledge about microplastics to the public, the Danish government has also pointed out that in order to build a new plastics value chain, industry needs a deeper understanding of microplastics, and the European Commission needs to develop a relevant regulatory framework to require companies to comply with the EU's planned plastics policy. The Danish government recommends the following solutions be incorporated into the EU's plastics policy: • Banning microbeads in personal care products; • Gradually limiting the addition of harmful additives and ingredients to plastics; • Encouraging the general public to work together to reduce plastic pollution; • Reducing general solid waste production and reducing the manufacture of short-lifecycle and single-use products through innovative solutions; • Increasing recycling rates and improving the quality and market acceptance of recycled plastic materials; • Establishing national regulations to reduce microplastics in the water environment. The microplastic problem cannot be solved simply by reducing waste. Only by moving beyond the linear consumption pattern of raw material extraction, manufacturing, use, and disposal and adopting a circular economy can microplastic pollution be significantly reduced.
