Demand Michael Gove, Environment Secretary, bans ALL products containing plastic microbeads

The Government is to go ahead with a ban on “rinse-off” plastic microbeads in cosmetics and personal care products following a public consultation, it has announced.
The proposal comes amid increasing evidence that tiny plastic particles are damaging marine life and could even pose a serious risk to human health.
BUT the cosmetics industry resisted calls for “leave-on” products like make-up and sunscreen to be included in the ban, stating they would have to reformulate up to 90 per cent of their products, which would be “difficult” and “expensive”.
This should be NO excuse for being allowed to continue to pollute our waters with microbeads plastic and Michael Gove should insist on a BAN on these products too!
