Starting July 1, 2018, Canada banned the sale of toiletries containing microbeads.

2018-08-17

Canada officially banned the production, import, and sale of toiletries containing microbeads starting July 1, 2018. Canadian Federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna recently tweeted that this move was the final step in combating microbead pollution of Canadian waters. Microbeads are solid plastic particles with a diameter of no more than 5 millimeters, widely used in personal care products such as soaps, shampoos, and toothpaste. Microbeads are insoluble and cannot be filtered through wastewater treatment systems, causing marine and river pollution. In 2014, Canada imported approximately 100,000 kilograms of exfoliating and cleansing products containing microbeads, while Canadian personal care product manufacturers used more than 10,000 kilograms. The ban implemented on July 1, 2018, does not currently include natural health products and over-the-counter medications containing microbeads; these two categories are scheduled to be banned from sale on July 1, 2019. Greenpeace strongly advocated for a global halt to the use of microplastic beads in 2016, primarily because the pollution caused by microplastics to the marine food chain has become "global" and must be addressed. Microplastic beads are widely used in various consumer products, including facial and body cleansing products, scrubs, toothpaste, and household cleaning products. When these products are used, tiny plastic fragments are flushed into drains. Because they cannot dissolve, they eventually enter the ocean through the sewer system, severely impacting global aquatic ecosystems. (Source: Green Trade Information Network, 2018/07/23)
