🌍 Strengthening Cross-Border Cooperation to Address Microplastic Pollution

On 15 September 2026, a round table was held at the Vojvodina Chamber of Commerce in Novi Sad within the project “Reducing Microplastic Pollution of Water in the Cross-Border Area – MICROPLASTICS”.

The event brought together representatives of the water management sector, public health experts, local authorities, and project partners to discuss the latest findings and challenges related to microplastic pollution. Topics included preliminary results on microplastics in surface and wastewater in Novi Sad, Bačka Palanka and the West Bačka District, pilot activities and measurements carried out in Serbia and Hungary, educational activities in schools, and the development of a joint project platform.

A member of the MicroDrink project team also took part in the round table, presenting the results and experience gained through the MicroDrink project, as well as the joint Policy Brief developed through cooperation between the MICROPLASTICS and MicroDrink projects.

The discussions highlighted the need for an integrated, cross-sectoral approach to microplastic pollution and underlined the importance of cross-border cooperation and joint efforts in developing practical solutions.

Following the round table, project partners held a meeting to discuss upcoming activities, including the next round table in Baja, a study visit to Sombor and Baja, the final project conference in Baja, and preparations for final reporting and project documentation.

🤝 Together, we are working towards cleaner water, stronger cooperation, and more effective approaches to tackling microplastic pollution.

💧 The presence of microplastics in water resources across the Danube Region is increasingly documented, yet monitoring remains uneven and the evidence available for coordinated action is still fragmented. To address this challenge, a policy brief has been prepared to support policy and decision makers, regulators, water managers, researchers and macro-regional governance bodies in shaping the future of the Danube River Basin.

The policy brief draws on the findings and operational experience of two EU projects, namely “Capacity building for management and governance of MICROplastics in DRINKing water resources of Danube Region – MicroDrink” implemented under the Interreg Danube Region Programme and “MInimizing CROssborder water contamination of microPLASTICS – MICROPLASTICS” carried out under Interreg VI-A IPA Hungary Serbia. Bringing together researchers, regulators, water suppliers, and public health professionals from across the Danube River Basin, MicroDrink has generated the first coordinated evidence base for microplastic occurrence in drinking water across the region, demonstrating that harmonised, cross-country monitoring is achievable and necessary. Uniting experts, public official, schools and communities across the cross-border area, MICROPLASTICS identifies pollution sources, measures contamination in key ecosystems and pilot filtration solutions and awareness-raising initiatives to reduce microplastic contamination in water and sediment. These activities are already contributing to active and effective pollution reduction and will ultimately lead to improved drinking water quality. 🌎✨

💧 The MicroDrink project officially concludes on 30th June 2026, but its impact is only beginning.

The MicroDrink Board will continue its collaboration through follow-up activities, building on the strong partnerships, scientific expertise, and shared commitment established over the past two and a half years.

Together, they will continue advancing research on microplastics, supporting evidence-based decision-making, and promoting sustainable drinking water management across the Danube Region. 🌍 ✨

💧DANUBE DAY, 29 June

The Danube is far more than a river. It is a vital source of drinking water, biodiversity, economic development, and cultural identity for millions of people across Europe.

Today, this shared natural treasure faces a growing and often invisible challenge – microplastic pollution. Tiny plastic particles are increasingly finding their way into rivers, ecosystems, and drinking water sources, posing risks to both environmental and human health. Protecting the Danube means protecting one of our most valuable resources: clean water.

Through the project, we are working to better understand, monitor, and reduce microplastic contamination in drinking water systems across the Danube Region, helping to safeguard water quality for present and future generations.

This Danube Day, let us remember:

-Every drop matters.
-Clean drinking water is a fundamental right.
-Protecting the Danube means protecting our future.

Together, we can reduce pollution, raise awareness, and contribute to healthier rivers and safer drinking water for all. 🌍✨

💧Transnational Monitoring Database of Microplastics in Drinking Water

The MicroDrink project carried out a year-long pilot sampling campaign at nine sites, covering three major aquifer types: karst, intergranular, and surface water/bank filtration.

Using a harmonized methodology aligned with the EU Drinking Water Directive (2020/2184) and its 2024 Delegated Act on microplastic measurement, the project achieved the first transnational implementation of standardized sampling procedures, improving data comparability and supporting policy integration across participating countries.

To address the lack of accessible monitoring data, MicroDrink developed an open Transnational Monitoring Database, providing free access to quarterly monitoring results from all pilot sites and strengthening cross-border cooperation. 🌍✨

💧MicroDrink at InPlasTwin Summer School 2026

From 15-19 June 2026, the MicroDrink project participated in the InPlasTwin Summer School 2026 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, bringing together experts working on micro- and nanoplastics in environmental and food systems.

Representing the Croatian Geological Survey, Lead Partner of the project, Dr. sc. Ana Selak joined discussions on advanced detection methods, environmental impacts, and policy development. During the Science-Policy-Practice Lab, she presented MicroDrink’s Roadmap Towards MP Strategy, highlighting the project’s contribution to evidence-based solutions for microplastic contamination in drinking water.

Participation in the Summer School provided an excellent opportunity to exchange knowledge, strengthen international cooperation, and increase the visibility of the MicroDrink project within the European scientific and policy community working to tackle microplastic pollution. 🌍✨

💧How does microplastic pollution affect the quality of our drinking water?

Microplastics have become one of the most pressing challenges for water resource protection, and their presence in drinking water calls for coordinated action from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.

Through the MicroDrink project, partners across the Danube Region are working together to improve knowledge, harmonize monitoring approaches, and support solutions for addressing microplastic contamination in drinking water systems. 🌍✨
