New Jersey A5452 aims to combat microplastics by prohibiting certain products containing microplastics and requiring transparency in labeling.
The Protecting Against Microplastics Act prohibits the sale of cleaning, cosmetic, and potentially ingestible products containing intentionally added microplastics starting three years after the bill's effective date. Manufacturers must label products that contain microplastics or could generate secondary microplastics starting two years after the bill's effective date. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is required to establish a source reduction program to minimize microplastics in the environment and conduct comprehensive research and monitoring.
