What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThis project aims to improve our understanding of the potential socioeconomic,<br/>environmental and human health impacts of intentionally added microplastics in the UK. This<br/>project will then consider the impacts of different potential policy actions, including placing<br/>controls on emissions of intentionally added microplastics, physical and chemical<br/>mechanisms of pollution, quantity and environmental damage estimates of emissions to the<br/>environment from different sectors, estimates of costs to businesses for reformulation to<br/>use alternatives to microplastics, uncertainties around environmental damage estimations<br/>and human health costs.<br/>This project will collect and analyse data on these issues, in order to assess potential policy<br/>responses, in line with the 25-year Environment Plan commitments. The key policy<br/>commitments the evidence project sets out to address are (1) 4.2 Achieving zero avoidable<br/>plastic waste by the end of 2042 (2) 4.7 Managing exposure to chemicals.
