The invention relates to antimicrobial plastics products which comprise, as the antimicrobially active component, silver orthophosphate or particles of partly reduced silver orthophosphate. The plastics products have a very good antimicrobial efficacy. The production process achieves the effect that the plastics products, in spite of their content of silver orthophosphate or partly reduced silver orthophosphate, are not discolored under the action of light.
