Big news to fight pollution ending up in #OurOcean & drinking water!
Today we adopt new measures, restricting microplastics intentionally added to products.
It means preventing the release of 500,000 tonnes of microplastics!

#EUGreenDeal #ZeroPollution
On that #EUGreenDeal track!
Kicking off our 1st trilogue on Ecodesign for Sustainable Products.
Why is it important?
Because once we have a deal, we will make Europe’s products, market & businesses more competitive, sustainable & 🌍 friendly.
Ready to go ahead!
BREAKING — The #INC2 in Paris gives chair Gustavo Meza-Cuadra a mandate to develop a zero draft #PlasticsTreaty . Important step towards a solution to the global plastics crisis
EPP have left the #NatureRestorationLaw negotiations.
What a shameful display: the biggest group in the European Parliament is playing power games against their own Commission President and the Green Deal.
EPP has lost its moral compass. #NoNatureNoFood
Interesting DW piece including short documentary on the risks of microplastic pollution (-> an interview with LimnoPlast supervisor Prof. Laforsch from Universität Bayreuth)

The Rules of Procedure will rule the effectiveness of the treaty #INC2 UN Environment Programme #PlasticsTreaty #BreakFreeFromPlastic #BeatPlasticPollution #PlasticsINC
One key sentence from yesterday's debate on voting rules on #plasticstreaty was by the Senegalese 🇸🇳 delegate: 'Consensus is what kills democracy. It's different from unanimity, which is when everyone agrees. With consensus, if one or two countries don't agree, we're stuck.'
'We cannot recycle our way out of this mess' says Inger Andersen
'The only solution is the elimination of unnecessary plastics'
Setting the tone 🥂

09:02 a.m., UNHQ, NY. Waiting for the opening ceremony of the 2023 UN Water Conference to begin. Happy to represent LimnoPlast , HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management and Europe. I am here to remind people how important it is to deal with #microplasticpollution if we want clean and safe water for all.
