UK Could Be Headed For Broader Microbead Ban Than US’s MFWA

UK Parliament’s Environmental Audit Committee recommends “a legislative ban on the use of plastic microbeads in cosmetics and other toiletries,” with no mention of restricting prohibitions along microbead-function or product-category lines. Environmental NGOs are pushing for a broader ban than that in the US and seem to have lawmakers’ ear.
