Hawaii SB2330 mandates microfiber filtration systems in washing machines to reduce microfiber pollution.

Hawaii SB2330 amends the Hawaii Revised Statutes to require newly manufactured washing machines to include microfiber filtration systems. These systems must be active across all washing cycles, contain a microfiber filter with a mesh size of 100 micrometers or less, or meet an alternative standard set by the Department of Health. The bill mandates that manufacturers certify compliance with these requirements and face civil penalties for violations. It also requires retailers and distributors to sell only compliant washing machines.
