The power of environmental norms: marine plastic pollution and the politics of microbeads,
\nEnvironmental Politics, DOI:
\n10.1080\/09644016.2018.1449090<\/p>\n

ABSTRACT:<\/p>\n

Emerging environmental norms gain strength and diffuse more quickly when
\nscientific evidence of harm is consolidating, when activism is
\nintensifying, and when political and corporate resistance is relatively
\nweak. The anti-microbead norm \u2013 that plastic microbeads should be
\nremoved from personal care products \u2013 has been gaining global influence
\nsince 2012; witness the upsurge in anti-microbead activism, public
\nconcern, voluntary corporate phasedowns and governmental bans. By 2018,
\nthe world was on track to eliminate microbeads from \u2018rinse-off\u2019 products
\nwithin a decade, reducing microplastics flowing into oceans by 1\u20132%.
\nThis confirms the power of environmental norms, but how and why this
\nphaseout is occurring \u2013 unequally across jurisdictions, with firms
\ncreating loopholes, missing deadlines and limiting the scope of reforms
\n\u2013 also reveals innate weaknesses of bottom-up, ad hoc norm diffusion as
\na way of improving marine governance. These weaknesses are heightened
\nwhen economic stakes are high, solutions are complex and costly,
\nauthority is fragmented across jurisdictions and corporate resistance is
\nstrong.<\/p>\n
