如春雨般的微塑料污染:哪些行业仍未采取行动?
大规模塑料污染已经引发了全球关注和行动,但微塑料的监管和企业行动仍然滞后;涂料和轮胎是微塑料环境泄漏的主要来源,人们需要更多地了解其对微塑料污染的影响;2023年5月巴黎将举行围绕联合国终结塑料污染协定的谈判,将为解决微塑料污染问题提供难得的机遇,将推动制定具有法律约束力的全球措施。

La contaminación por macroplásticos ha acaparado la atención mundial, pero las soluciones en cuanto a medidas reguladoras y empresariales siguen rezagadas.
Macroplastic pollution has been catching global attention and mobilization but microplastics are still lagging in terms of regulatory and corporate action.
Las emisiones de microplásticos de la pintura representan más de la mitad de la fuga total anual de microplásticos en el océano y es necesario hacer más para abordar el problema.
Paint microplastic emissions account for more than half of estimated total annual ocean microplastic leakage and more needs to be done to tackle the issue.
Including paint microplastics under the “Do No Significant Harm” criteria in the Sustainability Taxonomy is an opportunity to tackle emissions at source.
The volume of microplastics from paint on steel surfaces that enters the ocean every year could be equivalent to 150-225 billion empty plastic bottles.
