this act banned the beads in most personal care products back in 2015.
you might be all like “well my enlightened country has a total ban on plastic microbeads, not just in certain products… checkmate atheist!”
if that’s you and you live in the vast majority of countries, including the aforementioned UK and Canada, then your country doesn’t have an actual ban on these by your definition either!!!
idk where the OP gets its claim of “first in the nation legislation,” tbh. haven’t read this article yet. might update this comment later.
I’m assuming most producers stopped using them voluntarily when there was a spate of negative publicity, maybe there’s still some stragglers that are still selling it.
This isn’t already a thing? I thought everyone phased these out years ago.
Yeah…wtf, I thought everyone switched to charcoal and salt and shit like a decade ago
No wonder we all have a plastic spoon in our brains
Thats what I thought.
Ive seen the “We have salt beads!” one recently, but none with the plastic microbeads.
Made illegal in Canada in 2017.
January 2018 for the UK, wild that the US is so behind that even California is only just getting to it.
we’re really not behind…

Fair enough, thanks for calling me out. I’m glad it’s not as bad as I thought. The article title threw me off as well.
Definitely so in the EU

I still have plastic dust stuck in my balls and cerebellum.
