Blogs about plastic and health

We put our finger on the sore spot.
In our work, we increasingly focus on the relationship between plastic and human health. Our campaigns in the field of microplastics and the fight against plastic waste are directly related to this. Education is of course an important pillar in everything we do, because children are the future.

In our blogs you can read about our research, our view on it and what we ask of governments.
