Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The Fighting Fibers Act of 2024 requires all new washing machines sold in the United States beginning January 1, 2030, to contain a microfiber filtration system with a mesh size of no greater than 100 micrometers (or an equivalent standard). Manufacturers must include a conspicuous consumer label instructing users to check and dispose of captured lint regularly. The EPA and Department of Energy are authorized to establish additional requirements through rulemaking and enforce compliance through civil penalties. The bill also directs the EPA to conduct a nationwide study on microfiber presence in the human body and environment, including potential health effects and impacts on environmental justice communities, with results due within one year.
