Troubling Toxics: Eliminating Harmful Plastic Chemicals Through the Plastics Treaty
The IPEN briefing Troubling Toxics discusses approaches in the Plastics Treaty to establish criteria for a negative list of toxic chemicals associated with the production, use, and disposal of plastics. IPEN calls for a strategy that combines a negative list of toxic chemicals to eliminate from plastics with an approach that prohibits marketing chemicals when there is no available toxicity data.
Химиялық қайта өңдеу: Қауіпті алдау
A new report from IPEN and Beyond Plastics presents a critical examination of the long history of failure of chemical recycling and the threats it poses to the environment, human health, and environmental justice. The findings demonstrate that chemical recycling produces large quantities of hazardous waste, releases toxic air pollution, and contributes to climate change. The report debunks the myth that we can recycle our way out of the plastic pollution problem and supports the case for capping and then phasing down plastic production.

Report
Are Your Children's Toys Hazardous Waste?
A study by IPEN and its members from ten countries reveals that shockingly high levels of the toxic chemicals chlorinated paraffins are common in children’s plastic toys. All thirty-one toys tested for the study were found to contain the harmful chemicals, which are linked to cancer, damage to developing brains, endocrine disruption, damage to the liver and kidneys, and threats to reproductive health.

Plastic Recycling is Recyling Toxic Chemicals
IPEN is concerned about the health and environmental threats throughout the plastic recycling stream. Studies from IPEN and others have shown that plastic recycling poses health threats to consumers, waste and recycling workers, and communities.

No Funds for the Plastics Crisis
Three planetary crises have been identified, but global funds have been established for only two. IPEN is calling for a Global Green Chemicals and Waste Fund to address the toxic impacts from chemicals in plastics and plastic waste.
