00:00Plastics are among the worst polluters to all ecosystems
00:17and microplastics are particularly concerning
00:19they are from 5mm down to microscopic levels
00:23and can be harmful to all life
00:25contamination of nature often happens during transport by land and sea
00:30of plastic pellets that are used to make larger products
00:34at UDECODE we explain new regulation to reduce this pollution
00:39microplastics contaminate soil which can harm agriculture
00:43spillage into waterways and the sea leads to ingestion by animals
00:48including fish which are then in turn eaten by humans
00:52pollution on beaches also negatively affects tourism
00:55recent shipping spills have occurred in northwest Spain
00:59Galicia and in the North Sea affecting the Netherlands
01:03inadvertent consumption of microplastics can pose health issues
01:08such as lower fertility and cancer according to some scientific studies
01:13let's hear to what extent Europeans are aware and concerned about microplastic risks
01:19I think the European Union could decide to use less plastic
01:23both in the industry and in our daily consumption
01:26or even try to sensitize more people in the countries of the European Union
01:34It's everywhere
01:35which I mean isn't brilliant
01:38but I guess we don't really know what effects that will have long term
01:41I believe that they will have a lot of blood
01:43because they will have a lot of blood
01:44because the damage of their blood is a lot of blood
01:45I have heard that they can continue to be able to pass
01:50the blood that we have in the brain
01:52so they go through the circulation of our blood
01:54and have even increased in the health of the world
01:56they have increased in the health of the world
01:58Euronews reporter Gregoire Lowry has been following this dossier
02:02Quindi quali sono le nuove obligazioni per le compagni che servono plassi e per quelli che trasportano i plassi?
02:09Le grandi compagni che siano più oltre 1,500 tonni al anno
02:13devono avere una certificazione per una terza parte indipendente.
02:17Le piccoli compagni che siano più oltre 1,500 tonni al anno
02:22devono avere un'obligazione più oltre, come una certificazione di one-off
02:27in 5 anni dopo l'entrimento della regolazione.
02:30e le piccoli compagni che siano più oltre 1,500 tonni al anno
02:36e le microenterprie che dovrebbero avere una certificazione di un concorso.
02:41E in pratica, queste compagni hanno dovuto trainare le persone che lavorano lì,
02:46hanno più consapevolezza tecniche quando c'è un spillaggio accidente?
02:49Deve dovuto, perché contaminazione possono occurre a diverse stagioni del processo.
02:54Può essere la produzione, può essere la produzione, la distribuzione.
02:57in realtà dovrebbero avere tutte queste stagioni di organizzazione
03:02per assicurare che ridurano le perdone.
03:07Alcuni organizzazioni non governamentali
03:09sono un po' più critico, dicendo che ci sono troppo semplici,
03:13troppo delay per entrare in force.
03:16Qual è a stagione?
03:17Per esempio, le NGOs argomentano che la maggior parte delle SMEs
03:21rappresentano la maggior parte della stagione della plastica,
03:29accontano per 98% in conversione e 97% in transporte e stagione.
03:36Il settore del maritimo settore ha avuto un anno per il transito
03:43e le NGOs argomentano che la maggior parte della maggior parte dell'Europa
03:47sono già seguendo le regolazioni internazionale.
03:52E finalmente, perché non-EU compagni sono anche in questo regolazione?
03:57So, pellets are very mobile, they can be dispersed by air, water, land.
04:03It cannot occur at all stages of the supply chain.
04:07And the highest risks are actually in the loading and unloading.
04:12So, the EU wants to make sure to get all the companies within the regulations.
04:17Each year, the equivalent of up to 7,300 truckloads of plastic pellets
04:22are lost to the environment.
04:24The new rules are expected to reduce plastic pellet losses by up to 74%.
04:30But plastic pellets rank third among the largest sources of microplastic release
04:35after paints and tires.
04:37Textiles and detergent capsules are other significant sources of this pollution.
04:42Let's talk more about this topic with one of the shadow operators for this regulation
04:48in the European Parliament, Spanish socialist Cesar Luena.
04:52How can we guarantee that the companies apply these norms,
04:59especially those that do not belong to the European Union?
05:03Out of the territory of the European Union we can't guarantee anything.
05:06But those companies outside that work and operate within our territory
05:11will have to have a un representative autorized
05:13that explains how to comply with the European laws
05:17to every authority competente in the United States.
05:20So, if there is a disaster or accident,
05:24immediately we are going to see the company
05:26and we are going to have this representative autorized.
05:29Why will the maritime transport will have three years
05:33to comply with these norms
05:35instead of two, like the other companies,
05:37when the contamination of the sea is so high?
05:40Well, because countries like, I can name no problem, like Chipre, like Grecia,
05:46like Malta, like Croatia,
05:49yes, they would ask for those three years because they would need more time.
05:52In other words, we have suggested that the members of the European Union
05:55accept, for example, the proposal of the Parliament on the etiquette,
05:59that they would have the etiquette clearly
06:01where they describe the materials,
06:05and the dangers that they can have if they lose those materials,
06:09if they lose the soil or the water.
06:12For 2030, the Unions should reduce the liberation of microplastics
06:16to the environment in a 30%.
06:19Are they evaluating adequately other sources of contamination
06:23to achieve that objective?
06:26Yes, I think that yes.
06:28Everything is expected in the European Pacto Verde Europe,
06:31since the policies of circular economy
06:35to the policies that speak of urban urban areas,
06:39of water potable, of painting, textiles, etc.
06:42So, if we apply what we had planned, we will be able to achieve it.
06:48But if we doubt and we go to the extreme left, maybe not.
06:54The European Union has prohibited the plastics of one single use,
06:58and there are innovations such as biodegradable materials.
07:01But the Unions should not be more active in the promotion
07:05of alternatives to plastic products for consumers.
07:08We have, on the one hand, the Eco-Disex,
07:11the work in the Horizon Europe Program,
07:15and a one hand, which was reviewed in the past,
07:18on the recyclable materials and of a single use.
07:23I think that this set of three things should have a unique vision,
07:28a unique plan, and therefore, I think that we would be more effective.
07:33The violations of the new rules on storage and transport of plastic pellets
07:37could lead to fines above 3% of the company's turnover in the EU.
07:43The governments retain the initiative to initiate criminal proceedings
07:47in case of severe contamination, but the bigger challenge remains persuading people
07:53to use fewer plastics in our daily lives.
