From plastics to synthetic textiles, vehicles contain hidden dangers of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and other chemicals of concern (CoC). These hazardous chemicals persist in ecosystems and can accumulate through the food chain, threatening both human health and biodiversity.
This brochure maps stakeholders in the transport sector, outlining potential sources of these hazardous materials throughout a vehicle's lifecycle, and offers insights to support a holistic approach to managing their impacts and implementing sustainable solutions.
