It was learned from the official website of the General Administration of Customs that the Ministry of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs of the United Kingdom announced on June 19, 2018 that the ban on the ban on the sale of rinse-off cosmetics and personal care products containing plastic microspheres in England and Scotland has come into effect. Products containing plastic beads such as facial scrubs, soaps, toothpastes, and shower gels are all within the prohibition of sale. This ban is considered to be the most powerful and comprehensive ban on plastic-containing microbead products worldwide. The ban was another important measure after the British government banned the production of plastic beads containing products in January this year.
