Listen "Vehicle tyres biggest source of microplastics in the ocean"
Episode Synopsis
Tiny parts of vehicle tyres are making up the biggest source of microplastics in our ocean, according to marine scientists.

The vehicles contributing most to the problem are both EVs and Utes. Marine microplastics researcher at the University of Auckland, Dr Samantha Ladewig spoke to Lisa Owen.
