EU prepares to introduce comprehensive microplastic restrictions

2018-03-14

The European Commission recently asked the Chemical Agency (ECHA) to prepare a restriction document for Annex XV of REACH, which is expected to restrict intentionally added plastic particles in all consumer products and products for professional use. This requirement is a major focus of the EU's plastics policy, which hopes to reduce the use of plastic particles (plastics with a diameter of less than 5mm) through legislation. Plastic policy is one of the five priorities of the EU action plan to promote circular economy. The focus is to promote the goal of all plastic packaging materials in the EU single market to be recyclable by 2030 and to reduce the use of single-use plastics. ECHA will collect opinions from stakeholders in the first quarter of 2018 to conduct a socio-economic assessment study, and is expected to submit a microplastic restriction document within one year. Microplastic pollution has become a major problem. Although some are intentionally added to products, most are released unintentionally. It is estimated that approximately 3 million tons of microplastics are released into the environment in the EU every year. In its plastic policy, the European Commission has set out measures to combat microplastics, including strengthening supervision and tracking of marine plastic pollution. The European Commission also plans to target specific industries with labeling standards and minimum microplastic release requirements, hoping to comprehensively reduce microplastics entering the environment. These industries include the tire industry, textile industry and painting industry. Recent research shows that there are traces of microplastics in the air, food and even drinking water. The possible negative impact of these microplastics on the human body is still unknown, Therefore, the European Commission plans to conduct a more in-depth assessment and study of the interception and removal of microplastics in the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
