J’ai été sollicitée pour donner un avis sur cet article @lemondefr où on retrouve des infos factuelles, et beaucoup de raccourcis. Je vais donc faire le point sur les pots de yaourt en #polystyrène (PS) et leur #recyclage #Thread 🧵⬇️

Je vais traiter les sujets par affirmation. Je ne vois pas de source dans l'article (c'est assez courant). Et je ne sais pas d’où viennent certaines affirmations. Donc si l'auteur souhaite en discuter aucun problème

✅les pots de yaourt sont majoritairement incinérés et utilisés comme combustibles dans l'industrie en remplacement des fossiles. 2-3% sont recyclés
❌s’ils se retrouvent dans la nature, en France, ce n’est pas par absence de filière ou gestion des déchets. C’est de l’incivilité

2019: "a person's average micro-plastic consumption is between 70,000-121,000 particles per yr & rising for those who drank bottled water closer to 100,000."
Imagine plastic inhalation/consumption for those wearing #masks for past yr. #VirtueSignalling

"Disposable face masks (single use masks) are produced from polymers such as #polypropylene, #polyurethane, #polyacrylonitrile, #polystyrene, #polycarbonate, #polyethylene, or #polyester (Potluri and Needham, 2005)."
They shed. Plastic is inhaled/ingested. By adults & #children.

"This new emergence of #facemasks as environmental litter both in the terrestrial & aquatic environment is a piece of evidence that the global pandemic has not in any way reduced the challenge of increasing #plastic #pollution in the environment."

Just back from another beach clean event, this one at Chessel Bay Nature Reserve, #Southampton. Thread...
At first sight, things look petty good. But start looking among and under vegetation and it's obvious that #plasticpollution is an issue. Lots of macro-litter, way more than can be collected in a single day..
Doesn't take long to collect a big bag of plastic crap. Only two syringes this time. The plastic fish are soy sauce containers. #plasticpollution
I arrive at #ChesselBay for the beach clean and... 1st sight, things don't look as bad as they have in the past. I spot a bird pelvis in the water...
But dig a little in the substrate and... Oh dear, epic #plasticpollution...
Over 70 of us are on site. There's a really good turnout of younger people - that's really encouraging. Everyone works hard. #chesselbay #beachclean #plasticpollution
