The UK is considering a ban on the sale of ground cleaning products containing plastic particles
The skin cleanser is the product that adds a few small particles in common clean skin product, assist to remove skin dirt and the product of aged cutin. The tiny particles in some of the frosted paste are made of plastic, tiny and unbiodegradable, and eventually flow into the sea with the flow of water. So many countries, including the United States, have banned the sale of ground cleaning products in China. The UK is also reportedly considering a unilateral ban on the cleaning products for grinding sand products. Although such products are still allowed to be sold in the European Union, UK environment minister rory Stewart said there would be more countries to agree on this. Greenpeace, the world's leading environmental group, has also endorsed the UK's possible unilateral ban. "Green peace" is for one of the major groups of plastics pollution, the Marine department, think, the head of the UK's unilateral ban can be tougher than the United States, because the latter only for several products co., LTD. Ban focused on grind arenaceous kind of cleaning products is contained in tiny particles, the partial products add is made of plastic particles, rather than a natural plant tissue, such as fruit seed or walnut shell, etc. Therefore, it cannot be degraded and eventually enriched in the stomach of Marine life, thus endangering the human self. A survey of 504 fish in the English channel shows that about a third of fish already have small plastic particles. Although at present average, it is only about two small particles per fish, but these particles not only affect fish, but also the tiny organisms at the bottom of the food chain. The UK government has recommended that manufacturers of health products voluntarily join the protection of the planet, as well as support from manufacturers such as unilever and l 'oreal. But at the same time, many scholars and netizens have said that the pollution of grinding particles is nothing compared to other plastic products. What's more, not all grinding products are made of plastic particles, so the ban may have no real contribution at all. But from imperial college London Dr Eric plug bielefeld said ban may improve the Marine pollution situation in other ways, because it is closely related to public life, to emphasize the importance of environmental protection to the public.
