Bill would ban tiny plastic beads in personal care products
February 12, 2014
Tiny beads used in facial scrubs, shampoos, soaps and toothpaste products would be banned under a measure drafted by the state attorney general to halt the spread of plastic pollution in New York waters.
Expected to be introduced Tuesday by Assemb. Robert Sweeney (D-Lindenhurst), the Microbead-Free Waters Act would prohibit the production, manufacture, distribution and sale of beauty products that contain plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in size.
