Nine NGOs, coordinated by ECOS, urge the European Commission to maintain high ambition in the Euro 7 abrasion test methods, due to be decided later this month. Signatories include ECOS, Pew Charitable Trusts, T&E, EEB, Rethink Plastic Alliance, Seas at Risk, Gallifrey Foundation, No Plastic in my Sea, and Ocean. Now!
The EU has agreed on a new car emission standard, Euro 7, that will (among other things) set limits on emissions stemming from the abrasion of tyres while driving – a massive source of microplastic pollution. Although this is a step in the right direction, Euro 7 will unfortunately not sufficiently address Europe’s microplastic problem.
