IPEN’s new Toxic Plastics video provides an overview on how toxic chemicals in plastics threaten human and environmental health throughout the plastic life-cycle, from petrochemical production through disposal.
Messages covered in the short video include:
-
Most plastics are not recyclable.
-
Toxic Recycling: new plastic products made from recycled plastics can contain a toxic soup of dangerous chemicals.
-
Landfills leech toxic chemicals into soils and groundwater.
-
Incineration creates toxic pollution, including dioxins. Exporting plastic waste is poisoning communities around the world.
Are there any short videos on plastic pollution that I can download onto my laptop? I’d like to show a video at a building without wi fi
