The important contribution of tires to microplastics found in the environment raises the
question how to effectively mitigate the environmental release of tire microplastics. The aim …

The environmental impact of tire wear emissions has become increasingly apparent, and
efforts to reduce their impact on the environment are on the rise. To minimise the generation …

In this report potential policy instruments and measures against microplastics from tyre and
road wear have been mapped, identified, and prioritised. The report has been produced …

Tire wear is the single most important source of microplastic particles in the Nordic countries.
Commissioned by the Nordic Working Group for Circular Economy (NCE), NIVA has …

Tire wear represents a large source of microplastic entering the aquatic environment,
however little is known about its environmental risks. Here, we provide the first assessment …

This literature review concerns microplastics from tyre and road wear caused by road traffic.
As there is limited knowledge about microplastics in general, and microplastics from road …

Plastics are omnipresent in our daily life. Unfortunately, the produced plastics will partly end
up in the environment including aquatic ecosystems. People often refer to littering or illegal …

Concern about plastic pollution, including microplastics, is high amongst European citizens,
and effective actions are needed to reduce microplastic pollution. However, there is still …

While tire wear particles (TWP) have been estimated to represent more than 90% of the total
microplastic (MP) emitted in European countries and may have environmental health effects …

The interest in tire wear particles (TWPs), generated from abrasion of tires, have gained
traction over the past few years, both in regards to quantifying particulate emissions …
