Mandatory Microfiber Filters in New Washing Machines Starting 2030
This Act mandates that all new washing machines sold in the U.S. starting January 1, 2030, must include a built-in microfiber filtration system. The goal is to reduce environmental pollution caused by tiny plastic and textile fibers released during washing cycles. Consumers will be required to check and dispose of the captured lint regularly, as indicated by new mandatory labeling on the machines.
