EA publications cover pressing environmental topics offering new research and actionable guidance to equip businesses, NGOs, regulators and sustainability professionals with data and insights that lead to direct action.
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.
La date d’application du règlement est passée le 12 août 2026. Presque rien de ce qui réduit, recycle ou réutilise les emballages n’est encore contraignant, et la règle permettant de mesurer si les objectifs de réutilisation sont atteints n’a pas
The regulation’s application date passed on 12 August 2026. Almost nothing that reduces, recycles or reuses packaging is binding yet, and the rule that will measure whether reuse targets are met doesn’t have to exist until 2027.
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.
Since 2015, an SBTi-validated target has sent a clear signal to the market: the company knows how much it needs to cut its emissions to stay aligned with the Paris Agreement and a well-below-2°C pathway, and it commits publicly to
Depuis 2015, une cible validée par la SBTi envoie un signal clair au marché : l’entreprise sait de combien réduire ses émissions pour rester alignée sur l’Accord de Paris et la trajectoire sous 2°C, et elle s’engage publiquement à le
Valentina Pauna (representing NORSUS for the PFN Scientific Committee) explains why closing data gaps, improving plastic fate mapping, and collaboration are key to credible plastic footprinting.
Les investisseurs peuvent mesurer le carbone qu’ils financent. Le plastique est la prochaine étape.
Financial institutions have had a standard way to measure the carbon emissions financed through their portfolios for several years now. Plastic pollution has had no equivalent. An investor could hold shares in a packaging company, a textile manufacturer, or a
