The US House of Representatives passed the "Disable Plastic Particle Protection Act"
ZZ91 News: Earlier this year, the United States reported that the American Chemical Society called for the ban on skin care products containing "micro-soft beads." This tiny plastic granule can be found in facial cleanser, body lotion, toothpaste, and soap personal care products. However, subsequent studies have found that they actually cause serious damage to the environment. Yesterday, the US House of Representatives passed the "Microbead Free Water Act". If it can be approved by the Senate, the new bill will take effect on July 1, 2017. The bill stipulates that the use of miniature soft beads will be phased out from July 1, 2017. Previously, states such as California, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Wisconsin had legislation that imposed strict restrictions on miniature beads. The bill passed this year is scheduled to stop producing tiny plastic pellets on January 1, 2018, and will only sell products containing this ingredient by 2020. After a 2013 study that pointed out that the Great Lakes of the United States was contaminated with tiny plastic blocks from personal care products, Illinois became the first state to pass such a bill. Scientists said at the time that Lake Ontario had 1.1 million plastic particles per square kilometer. Recent research has said that 8 trillion particles per day flow into the water in the United States. After the joint appeal of Republican representative FredUpton and Democratic Party representative Frank Pallone, the new bill was supported by both houses. Upton said: "The miniature soft beads are actually small plastic particles, but it will cause serious pollution to the water body." Pallone added: "Most people who buy these items are not aware of their impact on environmental damage." Unfortunately, everyone washed it into the sewer and then walked into the waterway. So we have to make sure that none of these soaps and toothpastes contain plastic particles that will eventually contaminate our environment.
