The European Parliament is expected to hold its final vote in October 2025. Following this, the new rules will enter into force 20 days after publication in the EU official journal. Apart from specific derogations and exemptions, the majority of provisions in the regulation will start applying from\u00a0<strong>2 years after entry into force<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Background<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Plastic pellets are minuscule particles used for producing plastic materials. When lost in the environment during manufacturing or transport, these particles do not biodegrade but accumulate in the environment and animals, such as fish and shellfish, and can consequently be ingested by humans. They also contribute to marine, freshwater and soil pollution. Currently, an estimated 52 to 184 thousand tonnes of pellets are released into the environment annually due to mishandling throughout the entire supply chain. Plastic pellets rank as the third-largest source of unintentional microplastic releases, after paints and tyres.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>More information: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consilium.europa.eu\/es\/press\/press-releases\/2025\/09\/22\/plastic-pellets-council-signs-off-regulation-to-reduce-pollution-from-microplastics\/\">Council of the EU<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, the Council adopted the regulation on\u00a0preventing the loss of plastic pellets\u00a0into the environment, following a provisional agreement with the European Parliament.
