Include microplastics in REACH polymers criteria, NGOs say

摘要

Micro- and nanoplastics should be specifically accounted for in proposed criteria for polymers requiring registration (PRRs) under REACH, two NGOs have said. Furthermore, the data needed to estimate the extent to which a polymer contributes to micro- and nanoplastics pollution should be part of the information requirements for pre-registration of relevant substances, they added.
