  No, but these beads pretty much go straight into the local waterways where they can very quickly break down into micro plastics. All so a human didn’t have to use a tool like a brush or a loofa to scrub themselves. Convenience at any cost.

    The brushes and loofas also contribute to micro plastic pollution.

    Tbh many brushes and loofahs are plastic and erode into microplastic too.

  Up to 5mm is still considered microplastics.
