For many years there has been an increase in the consumption of plastic. When it’s not disposed of correctly it breaks down into tiny particles that do not biodegrade. It’s a major environmental issue, every year about 42 000 tons of microplastics are released into the Environnement. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has been working since January 2019 on a restriction for products containing microplastics.  Listen to our Assurance in Action podcast dedicated to Sustainable Cosmetics to understand better the impact of this coming legislation on the cosmetic industry. Our experts Claire Chaumonnot and Elodie Garnier explain what this restriction is about !
