The test indicates the chance of adding toxins on the eating tables and along the food chain and shows that plastic pollution is part of our daily life.Greenpeace urges the Hong Kong government to quicken up the process of legislation to restrict the use of single-use plastics. The government-led research on microbeads in daily products and the plastic bottle producer responsibility schemes should go first. In addition the government should stimulate the overall plastic reduction target in order to make sure corporations will commit to cut plastic use.Related Collections:Investigation on Microplastics and Chemicals (PRESS Collection)
