With the United States making progress in the fight against
microbeads, how are our neighbors abroad doing to ban the microbead?
New South Wales in Australia is leading the ban with
collaborations from big name cosmetic companies. They hope to gain recognition
nationally, and with additional cosmetic companies to come to a complete halt
on the microbead.
In Europe, a handful of nations are leading the charge on
banning the microbead. So far, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands,
and Sweden have petitioned the EU to stop the sale and production of products
containing the plastic.
Canada has also submitted a petition to ban all products
containing microbeads.
The order is currently under review.
