  • This bill, called the Environmental Protection Amendment Act (Microfibre Filters for Washing Machines), was passed in 2023 in the province of Ontario. It requires that all washing machines sold in the province must be equipped with a filter that removes microfibres, with a maximum mesh size of 100 microns or smaller. Anyone who sells or offers for sale a washing machine without this filter can be fined up to $1,000 for individuals and $2,000 for corporations for the first offense, and higher fines for subsequent offenses. The law will come into effect five years after it receives Royal Assent.
