Back to Resource LibraryTopics
Plastic food packaging does more than create waste; it can also release chemicals into the food we eat. This PLOS Biology article explains why solutions like recycling and alternative packaging materials are not enough if they ignore chemical migration from packaging into food. It explores how hazardous chemicals can move from plastic into our diet and why safer packaging requires addressing these risks throughout the entire life cycle of plastics. Learn about the risks of this phenomenon and understand options for addressing it now and into the future.
