We’re on our way as a nation! Because of the "Microbead Free Waters Act" approved in November, the United States may be able to ban the
microbead all together. According to the
article below, the full ban would take effect beginning in 2018. Looks like the
states that took action beforehand have pioneered the way for entire country to
ban the bead!
This is a good resource for companies that have already
started to help out the fight against microbeads. As of this year, Unilever
products have phased out the plastic in their brands. (Dove, Caress, Clear,
Noxzema, Pond’s, Vaseline, Suave, Lever 2000, Simple, and St. Ives).
Additionally some P&G brands (Ivory, Pantene, Secret, and SK-II) are
currently without microbeads.
Let’s hope that the United States, as well as other nations continue
the fight to put an end to the microbead contamination, and let’s support the companies currently doing their part.
