The photograph, taken in March 2019, documents the sedimentation of plastic waste on the river banks following a flood. The waste mostly present in surface waters consists of plastics. A significant percentage of this waste is made up of plastic packaging, which degrades into millimeter fragments and becomes "microplastics", resistant and accumulable elements that are particularly harmful to the environment and health as vehicles of chemical substances that compromise the ecosystem and the food chain. Rivers are the main means of transporting plastic waste to seas and oceans. To combat this pollution, the European Union has adopted measures aimed at both preventing the production of waste (by reducing the use of plastic packaging and disposable plastic bags) and increasing the collection and recovery of the waste produced (promoting, for example, the use of compostable plastic products).
