Group Action Day against Plastics in Cosmetics in Berlin

Greenpeace volunteers are informing the public about the harmful plastic components in the examples of three different "Taft" hair products. Taft is a head brand of the German company Henkel. The campaign is taking place nationwide in 60 cities including Berlin, Essen and Munich. In addition to a two-meter persiflage of a "Taft" advertisement and an infostand, the volunteers will do a survey and pass the results to Henkel as well.

Group Action Day Against Plastics in Cosmetic Products in Berlin

Plastic in cosmetics is a problem for all conventional manufacturers, but the policies are not able to end this unnecessary environmental pollution. The Federal Government relies on the so-called "cosmetic dialogue", a voluntary commitment by manufacturers to get rid of microplastics by 2020. Because the German Minister of the Environment, Barbara Hendricks (SPD) allows the manufacturers to decide themselves which plastics they want to use in their products, the agreement actually is insufficient. With a manufacturer check, Greenpeace demonstrated that all German producers continue to use plastics, but are free to call themselves "microplastic-free".
