We are concerned that there could be an inadvertent loophole. We are simply looking to have a narrower framing of the concentration and the water-soluble element. There may be products containing a high concentration and where the plastic would not be water-soluble. There are cosmetic products that are water-resistant and which could inadvertently fall out of consideration. There is the same concern as it relates to cleaning products. I understand the legislation is trying to tackle the water-soluble product problem but our concern is that certain cleaning and cosmetic products could be excluded that should be captured.
