The important contribution of tires to microplastics found in the environment raises question how effectively mitigate environmental release tire microplastics. aim this study is map supply chain and quantify resulting emissions close collaboration with stakeholders, thereby providing a solid foundation for development mitigation strategy. To end, was mapped used identify stakeholders using material system analysis Netherlands, 2021. Stakeholder involvement integrated data gathering build trust future collaboration. total initial were estimated at 19,580 t/y (85 % by wear 15 infill). Approximately 9,450 reach environment, 80 soils 20 surface waters. This first step towards an effective
