Do RAUSCH products contain microplastics?Updated a year ago

The problem with microplastics is that they are often not effectively filtered at wastewater treatment plants, meaning that sooner or later, they end up in our lakes and oceans. They then collect in these bodies of water and can become a life-threatening hazard to the living organisms in those environments. RAUSCH is aware of this issue and has therefore never used any solid plastic particles in its products. 

The situation is less clear when it comes to ‘liquid plastics’, especially as this term is not clearly defined. Liquid plastics are very different to solid plastic particles in terms of their size, shape and physical and chemical properties. They are often water-soluble materials that differ greatly from solid particles in terms of their durability in particular, and are not believed to contribute to water pollution. Ingredients such as polyquaternium are even permitted in certified natural cosmetics. These two groups of materials therefore cannot be lumped together.
