What specific countries banned the use of micro-beads in products?

On May 18, 2015 Canada took its first steps toward banning micro beads when a Member of Parliament from Toronto introduced Bill C-680, which would ban the sale of micro beads. According to environment and climate change, the government of Canada will be suggesting that micro beads be added to the list of toxic substances in the Canadian Environmental Protection Agency.   The first Canadian province to take action against micro beads is Ontario, where a Member of the Provincial Parliament introduced Micro bead Elimination and Monitoring Act. This bill would enforce the ban of manufacturing micro beads in cosmetics, facial scrubs or washes, and similar products. The bill also proposes that there will be yearly samples taken from the Canadian Great Lakes, which will be analyzed for traces of micro beads.

Why do companies put these plastic micro beads in their products?

The production and sale of micro-beads is affecting the environment in a negative way because it causes pollution to the environment and it will affect humans.

For Example the micro-beads are made mostly in personal care product such as shaving cream, toothpaste, face soap, body wash, etc. These products usually go down the drain into the water system, but they do not get filtered due to how small they are; therefore, they will end up into the water waste. Micro-beads act like sponges; therefore, they will absorb all the other toxics around them. Those toxic beads will then be eaten by fishes and those fishes will contain micro-beads inside of them. Later when humans go fishing they might catch a fish than contain micro-beads inside them, then the fishes will get eaten by humans and humans will contain micro-beads inside of them. This keeps cycling if nothing is done about it.

The positive side is that some countries and companies are starting to ban micro-beads from being inside of personal care products and other products. This will help the environment by not letting those plastic micro-beads to getting into fishes, and humans won't be washing their faces or eating micro-beads anymore.

The negative side is that some countries don't even know about micro-beads; therefore, those countries do not do anything about it. Some countries know about micro-beads being in personal care product but they do not care enough to remove or ban it because of the problems they might be having in their countries.Those countries are usually the poor countries with low GDP.
