Cadmium in residual products from waste water treatment plants reduces their ability to be recycled and reused. By banning the use of cadmium in paints and other products, we open the doors to better recycling and better environments.

Marine litter can accumulate and could pose a threat to our water resources and ecosystems. Control at source is essential to prevent them from entering the environment. Additional treatment steps exist which will lead to increased tariffs for consumers.
