On March 3th, the EU published the second Zero Pollution Monitoring and Outlook report, which provides an overview of the EU's work to meet the 2030 zero pollution targets. The reports show that EU policies have contributed to reducing air pollution, pesticide use and plastic litter at sea. However, pollution levels are still too high, in particular from harmful noise, micro plastic releases into the environment, nutrient pollution and waste generation. To tackle the micro plastics’ pollution, the Commission presented in 2023 a proposal for a Regulation on preventing plastic pellet losses to the environment. Once adopted, it will help reach this pollution target in the Zero Pollution Action Plan.
