Illinois SB0030 mandates microfiber filtration systems in new washing machines sold in the state starting January 1, 2030.
Illinois SB0030 amends the Environmental Protection Act to require that new washing machines sold in the state contain a microfiber filtration system with a mesh size of no more than 100 micrometers. These machines must also bear a label notifying consumers that the filter captures microfibers and should be checked regularly. The bill imposes civil penalties for violations, with fines increasing for subsequent offenses. The microfiber filtration system can be integrated into the washing machine design or included as an in-line filter.
