1 COSMETICS WITH MICROBEADS

2 COFFEE CAPSULES

3 WET WIPES

Explanation:

1.Plastic microbeads began to be introduced in cosmetics, toiletries and cleaning products in the 1970s, but it wasn’t until the 1990s that brands began to incorporate them in a massive way. Toothpastes, creams, lotions, shampoos and detergents began to include microbeads as the great innovation of the time for achieving an abrasive effect, replacing the nature-based materials in use until then.

2 Capsule coffee machines have revolutionized the breakfasts of millions of people, offering a convenient and practical option for preparing an espresso or latte with the same quality one finds in a café.

Wet wipes have become a common item in many homes, but with a dramatic consequence: they help to create fatbergs, immense accumulations that block the sewerage networks and that are composed of 93% non-degradable wipes, together with fat, condoms and other similar items thrown into the toilet.
