Právní regulace nakládání s primárními mikroplasty na úrovni eu a v některých evropských zemích

The author deals with the legal regulation of the management of primary microplastics at the EU level. The article is mainly devoted to the comparison of the already existing legal regulation of some EU Member States, which have already adopted measures concerning the handling of so-called microbeads. Furthermore, the author deals with the comparison of these legal regulations with the prepared amendment to the REACH Regulation, which should fundamentally affect the management of primary microplastics within the EU and also serves as a harmonization regulation. Following this comparison, the author also briefly discusses the possibility of member states retaining their national legislation, especially if this legislation is broader than European legislation.
