Microplastics are one of the new pollutants that are currently becoming a global problem that is quite worrying, especially for the environment. Microplastics are plastic particles with a very small size of 100 nm - 5 mm. Microplastics can come from the use of various products that degrade so that their size becomes smaller. Personal Care Cosmetic Products (PCCPs) are products that refer to cosmetics used for the outside of the body such as skin, hair, nails, lips, teeth, and oral cavity. PCCPs are used to clean and protect these body parts, protect these body parts from germs, prevent unpleasant odors, change appearance, and keep these body parts in good condition (Ray, et al., 2020). This research will focus on the effectiveness of the removal of substances with activated carbon in shampoo waste water. The shampoo product studied is the product that received the highest score based on the Personal Care category at the Top Brand Award Phase 1 in 2024. Based on this study, the average data of pH 6.75; ammonia 0.0104 mg/L; orthophosphate 0.08 mg/L; phosphate 0.09 mg/L; total COD 193.123 mg/L; NTK 98 mg/L; TSS 112 mg/L; TDS 159 mg/L;????????????5 16.7 mg/L; and microplastics as much as 116±16 particle/L. In addition, treatment using activated carbon was effective in reducing pH, phosphate, NTK, total COD, ????????????5 and TDS parameters and removing microplastics.
