Each year in EU, around 220 000 tonnes of microplastics (small plastic pieces typically smaller than 5 mm) end up in the environment, where they cannot biodegrade*.
Microplastics are unintentionally formed when larger pieces of plastic wear apart, like car tyres, or aren’t properly recycled, like packaging. But microplastics can be also deliberately manufactured and added to products for specific purposes, such as Nylon-12 and PMMA in make-up formulations. This deliberate usage is more and more restricted by authorities, disliked by the consumers and should thus be substituted for sustainable alternatives.
