Illinois passed a bill last Sunday that makes it the first state in the U.S. to ban plastic microbeads in soaps and cosmetics. From the end of 2018 it will be illegal to manufacture products containing microbeads in the state, and from the end of 2019 it will be illegal to sell them as well. With other legislatures such as New York and California considering similar bans, it is hoped Sunday’s bill will set a precedent.
