● Council of the EU   09/04/2025 00:52 | Press release | Plastic pellet losses: Council and Parliament agree on new rules to reduce microplastic pollution   Today, the Council and the European Parliament provisionally agreed on a regulation on preventing the loss of plastic pellets – the industrial raw materials used to make plastic products – into the environment. The new rules will help improve the handling of plastic pellets at all stages of the supply chain, both on land and sea. “Microplastics, including plastic pellets are now found everywhere — in our oceans, seas and even in the food we eat. Each year, the equivalent of up to 7,300 truckloads of plastic pellets are lost to the environment. Today, the EU has taken a landmark step toward reducing pellet pollution by adopting measures to tackle losses and ensure correct handling, including in maritime transport.” — Paulina Hennig-Kloska, Polish Minister for Climate and Environment Stronger prevention of pellet losses
