Philip A. Moffat Quoted in Chemical Watch Article on Microplastics Regulation
On October 15, 2026, Verdant Law attorney Philip A. Moffat was quoted in a Chemical Watch article titled “Microplastics Draw Increasing Scrutiny from US State Lawmakers and Regulators.”
The article examines recent state-level efforts to address microplastics in products, including legislation introduced in New Jersey and California’s listing of microplastics as a candidate chemical. Mr. Moffat discussed the implications of these developments and the potential for other states to adopt microplastics regulations.
He also addressed the challenges of regulating microplastics, including defining the term and addressing secondary microplastics—particles generated unintentionally through product use, wear, and degradation.
