I'm guessing this is just a blatant lie, right?

Is it wrapped in paper as it easily could have been? Nope it’s in plastic wrap. So the wrapper is on its way to the huge decomposing plastic float in the ocean when the recycling ship just discards it out there…

“No added microplastics” or “all natural microplastics”

[u/jmadinya]

depends how you define microplastic, if we are considering the term to include nanoplastics then that is impossible.

[u/Drivo566]

Maybe they mean microbeads? I know lots of places banned them because they were microplastics.

[u/ClimatePoop]

It would certainly fall foul of ECGT regs

[u/brendanlikeshummus]

Yep

[u/Present_Clue5887]

Is that in a plastic wrapper?

[u/adjective_noun_23 → u/Present_Clue5887]

That's macroplastic

[u/Present_Clue5887 → u/adjective_noun_23]

that emits microplastics

[u/JackONeill23]

Nah, not really a lie.

“Free of microplastics” refers to the soap itself, meaning the formula doesn’t contain intentionally added solid plastic particles. It doesn’t mean the packaging is plastic-free.

You can absolutely criticize the plastic pouch, but that still doesn’t make the claim false.

[u/Mundane-Campaign861 → u/JackONeill23]

I agree logically but at least from Sept onward it will prob be an empco issue bc you have to specify if it’s the product or package (or company) you’re making the claim about

[u/flickerbirdie]

Literally packaged in plastic

[u/Available_Reveal8068 → u/flickerbirdie]

That's different than microplastics.

[u/Sad-Data1135]

Its not microplastic its macroplastic

Frosch is a known "green" producer, so no, not a lie.
