Quadpack Industries S A : Microplastics found in Mediterranean sea turtles

In July 2021, an EU Directive imposed a ban on all products made of oxo-degradable plastics, which breaks down progressively into microplastics. Despite this measure, the CRAM study shows that ocean plastic pollution has reached critical levels, demanding more drastic action. The high levels of plastic waste affect not just marine life, but all living beings, as oceans produce food, as well as over half of the oxygen breathed on Earth.
