Movement to Ban Copper in Automotive Brake Pads Gains Traction

Automotive brake pads contain harmful copper shavings that are released whenever a driver hits the brakes, which is harmful to the environment as the copper ends up washing into streams and rivers. Luckily, the movement to ban copper in brake pads is now gaining traction thanks to new legislation in California and Washington. According to the  Ecology Department in Washington State , “With millions of drivers using their brakes each day, these small amounts significantly impact our waterways, including Puget Sound.” Washington State has also stated that the brake pads account for up to half of the copper entering the state’s  water supply . In Washington any brake pads containing more than 5 percent copper will be banned by 2021. California has a similar ban that states that all brake pads must be composed of less then 0.5 percent copper by 2025.
