CCB’s targets on Marine Litter

• Ban microplastics from consumer care products

by law

• Set up EU marine litter reduction target of 50%

by 2025

• Fully implement HELCOM Regional Action Plan
• n Marine Litter, applying innovative and radical

reduction strategies

• Facilitate and support BSR NGOs in awareness

raising and knowledge exchange on marine litter in the Baltic Sea

CCB’s inputs to HELCOM RAP ML

RAP ML

• Overview of products

contributing to microplastic pollution

• Exchange of experiences on

beach clean-up

• Raising awareness on ML
• Dialogue with industry re. ecodesign

(microbeads, packaging)

• Promote additional techniques at

WWTPs

• Improvement of stormwater

management

• Seek cooperation with River Basin

Commissions re. inputs of litter

CCB Work Programme Compilation of information on personal care products containing microbeads Promotion of public monitoring tools – MLW National awareness raising and media outreach

• Addressing producers of personal care

products and other sources

• Evaluation of effectiveness of wetlands

in trapping micropollutants

• Developing and testing public

monitoring methods to evaluate riverine inputs of litter, including microplastics

• Continue training and promotion of

public monitoring tools

• Continue awareness raising campaign

Screening of riverine/ freshwater microplastic inputs

• Simple methodology for detection of microplastic in

rivers, streams, and other freshwater bodies has been developed and tested in in Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, and Belarus.

Prevention of microplastic pollution from storm- and wastewater discharges

The “Guidance on concrete ways to reduce microplastic inputs from municipal stormwater and waste water discharges”, including (1) stormwater management implications in climate change conditions and (2) draft methodology for microplastic detection, has been finalized and published on CCB’s website. It was presented at various occasions and disseminated EU-wide.

Review of information on other sources and pathways of microplastic pollution

• Technical report on MP pollution
• riginating from textiles and

paints/coating has been published on CCB’s web-site, and will be used in public awareness.
