New website on toxic-free food packaging launched
This week, CHEM Trust and partners launched a brand-new website, ‘Toxic-Free Food Packaging’, all about harmful chemicals in food contact materials (FCMs) and the work we are doing to call for updated EU legislation.
Endocrine disruptors are synthetic chemicals that mess with our hormones.
There are many types of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and they’re present in dozens of products that you find around the home, from furniture fabrics to food. They are poorly controlled – and with Brexit, things might get worse.
If you have questions about the impact of EDCs on you, your health or the environment, you’ve come to the right place. If you want to know how to reduce your exposure to these harmful chemicals or simply want to find out more about them we’re here to help.
Endocrine disruptors – the facts
What EDCs are, why they matter, and what’s known about their effects on human health and the environment. All the facts, none of the jargon.
How to avoid endocrine disruptors – the guide
Which everyday products contain EDCs and what can you do to reduce your exposure? Peace of mind for you and yours.
Take action
Help expose the hidden danger of EDCs, and call for better regulation and safer alternatives. Use your power as a citizen and consumer by taking easy but effective actions.
