🥗 What’s in plastic isn’t just plastic, it’s chemicals. These additives give plastics its form and function—like flexibility, strength, and durability. 🍕 But these chemicals include phthalates (used to soften plastics) and bisphenols (used to harden them). 😳 The problem? These chemicals aren’t locked in place. In fact, they leach into food and drinks, the air, and the human body. 🍓 Scientists have published numerous studies linking plastic chemicals to human health issues like infertility, cancers, and even premature births. We need a system that includes nontoxic materials and reuse systems that don’t cause harm. #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic
