Microplastics and industry
Analyzing and establishing microplastic content in products is becoming increasingly important for businesses in response to growing concerns about environmental impact and changing regulations. As consumers become more environmentally conscious, companies are recognizing the value of ensuring that their products and processes are free from microplastic contamination. Investing in effective microplastic analysis not only aligns with responsible business practices but also positions companies to cater to a market that values environmentally friendly products and processes.
Be prepared for impending legislations
Take proactive measures. Determine your microplastic footprint today
In 2015 the The Microbead-Free Waters Act, was signed into law by President Obama, banning the manufacturing of rinse-off products containing plastic microbeads in the U.S. as of July 1, 2017. In 2023, the European Union implemented a complete ban on intentionally added microplastics in consumer products, and implemented the first steps towards secondary microplastic inhibition.

Regulating unintentionally released microplastics
Regulations on the unintentional release of secondary microplastics are not yet streamlined but are impending. The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union have stated that:
​
​
​
"From 16 July 2026, the presence of plastics above 2 mm within the maximum limit value referred to in point (b) shall be no more than 2,5 g/kg dry matter. By 16 July 2029 the limit-value of 2,5 g/kg dry matter for plastics above 2 mm shall be re-assessed in order to take into account the progress made with regards to separate collection of bio-waste."

This law marks the beginning of a new set of regulations on secondary microplastics. Learn more about our mitigation services.
