California is considering legislation requiring polyester clothing to display a microfiber warning.

  • 2018-04-19

The California legislature is currently considering legislation requiring polyester clothing to include a warning about microplastics on its labels. This proposal addresses the potential harm that microplastics and microfibers can cause to the environment and drinking water quality. Recognizing the growing public awareness of the environmental impact of microplastics and microfibers, the legislature intends to require polyester clothing to include this warning on its labels to ensure consumers' right to know when purchasing, hoping to reduce the environmental and ecological damage caused by microplastics. The bill would require clothing made with more than 50% polyester to include a prominent label stating: "This product may shed microplastics during washing. Hand washing is recommended to avoid shedding microplastics." This labeling requirement is expected to take effect on January 1, 2020. Microplastic pollution is also a significant issue in the European Union. Earlier this year, the European Commission commissioned the European Chemicals Agency to prepare Annex XV of the REACH Regulation, outlining restrictions on the intentional addition of microplastics to products.
