New methodology brings plastic pollution into investment portfolio analysis
The instrument is still meant to set global rules. What is undecided is whether a product is judged on what it is or on where it is sold, and that decides how evenly the same rule lands across markets.
Diana Ita-Nagy, PFN Scientific Committee member, explains why plastic footprints get weaker the further plastic travels from a documented waste system, and what standardized measurement would change.
L’instrument doit toujours fixer des règles mondiales. Reste à savoir si un produit sera jugé sur ce qu’il est ou sur le marché où il est vendu, un choix qui décide si la même règle s’applique partout de façon uniforme.
Deux événements se sont produits ce mois-ci, sur deux continents, selon le même schéma. Le 22 septembre, la Commission européenne a publié au Journal officiel de l’UE les ESRS simplifiées et la nouvelle norme volontaire de reporting, qui entrent en
In September 2026, the EU and California both issued reporting guidance for rules that are not yet final. Here is what the timing gap actually means for companies building their data systems.
Plastic Overshoot Day marks the point when the amount of plastic waste generated exceeds the world’s capacity to manage it, resulting in environmental pollution. In 2026, the global Plastic Overshoot Day is projected to occur on September 6th.
La nouvelle modélisation issue du rapport From Shedding to Solutions d’Earth Action montre pourquoi la seule amélioration du traitement des eaux usées ne change presque rien à la pollution par les microfibres, et ce qui change lorsqu’elle est associée à
New modelling from Earth Action’s From Shedding to Solutions report shows why upgrading wastewater treatment on its own barely moves the needle on microfiber pollution, and what changes when it’s paired with controlled sludge management.
Amila Abeynayaka, PFN Scientific Committee member, explains what it takes to make plastic reduction efforts actually lower environmental impact, from composition to regional context to avoiding burden-shifting.
When Earth Action and The Nature Conservancy published From Shedding to Solutions in July 2026, the report filled a gap the textile industry had been working around for years: nobody had quantified, at system level, how much microfibre pollution manufacturing

Textile manufacturing releases 92,000 tonnes of microfibre pollution each year, report finds
How ‘practical interventions’ could cut around 95 per cent of microfibre pollution from textile production
Every year, textile manufacturing generates an estimated 92,000 tonnes of microfiber losses during production, with 63%, more than 58,000 tonnes, reaching the environment. But where exactly does this pollution occur, how much is already being captured, and what would it
De nouvelles règles européennes déploient progressivement des obligations de déclaration sur les émissions de microplastiques liées à la peinture à partir d’octobre 2025. Un kit de rinçage britannique montre ce qu’une entreprise a fait face à cela — et pourquoi
New EU rules are phasing in reporting obligations for paint’s microplastic emissions from October 2025 onward. A UK wash kit shows what one company did about it — and why product fixes alone won’t be enough.
Les investisseurs peuvent mesurer le carbone qu’ils financent. Le plastique est la prochaine étape.
