Nearly 1,000 tonnes of microplastics are moving from packaging into the food and drinks they contain every year, according to a new analysis.
The report published by Earth Action in collaboration with rePurpose Global, estimates the average individual intake is estimated at around 130 milligrams of microplastics per year.
It claims microplastic exposure from food and drink packaging more concentrated and more preventable than previously understood.
