Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) The abrasion of tyres during use is a significant source of microplastics, which are harmful to the environment, and the Commission’s Communication “A European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy”16 therefore mentions the need to address unintentional release of microplastics from tyres, inter alia through information measures such as labelling and minimum requirements for tyres. However, a suitable testing method to measure tyre abrasion is not currently available. Therefore, the Commission should mandate the development of such a method, taking into full consideration all state-of-the-art internationally developed or proposed standards or regulations, with a view to establishing a suitable testing method as soon as possible. __________________ 16Applying labelling requirements with regards to the abrasion rate of tyres would bring substantial benefits to human health and the environment. Therefore, the Commission should introduce a suitable testing method to measure tyre abrasion as soon as possible, taking into full consideration all state-of-the-art internationally developed or proposed standards or regulations, with a view to introduce parameters and information requirements for the abrasion of tyres before the entry into force of this Regulation. __________________ 16 COM(2018) 28 final COM(2018) 28 final
