What are the most pressing issues for you related to chemicals in plastics?

Here is a report that can guide you through the issues linked to plastic pollution and associated chemicals.

"Chemicals in Plastics: A Technical Report" by UNEP integrates two studies on chemicals in plastics, revealing that of the 13,000 substances associated with plastics, more than 3,200 are chemicals of potential concern.

As concerning chemicals have been discovered in plastics across various sectors and product value chains and can be released during any phase of a plastic's life cycle, addressing these chemicals could help resolve a spectrum of SAICM-related and other pressing issues.
