About 1.5 million tonnes of primary microplastics end up in the oceans every year 🌊

Microplastics, are not only widespread in the environment. They have been found in food and water intended for human consumption.

This week we issued a standard methodology to measure the presence of microplastics in water.

We are working to protect the environment, biodiversity and your health from microplastics.
