SACRAMENTO, Calif.—(ENEWSPF)–October 9, 2015. California Gov. Jerry Brown today signed into law Assembly Bill 888, phasing out the use of plastic microbeads in beauty products by 2020. Importantly, the new law closes a loophole in microbead bans passed in other states, including Indiana and New Jersey, allowing companies to replace traditional plastic microbeads with more plastic. The California ban is the strongest legislation in the country and will set the standard for the industry.
