Release time:2026-03-11

The author:BCRC China

On February 3, Illinois considers glitter ban over microplastics concerns. Microplastics, including glitter, are among the most pervasive pollutants worldwide, showing up in 90% of samples in the Great Lakes. Once they enter waterways, they can't be filtered out. The bill would prohibit the sale of glitter-based personal care products like makeup and hair products, but would not regulate glitter sold for celebrations.
