MEPs in Strasbourg on Thursday called for effective measures against the pollution through plastic pellets in the wake of the environmental disaster in northern Spain. „Unfortunately, this disaster is just the tip of the iceberg“, said Ska Keller (Greens). „It’s not even one percent of the plastic pellets that are lost every year.“ Keller is shadow rapporteur for a draft law that addresses this problem and aims to reduce the environmental impact of microplastics.
