26 million pounds.

That’s roughly the weight of 1,000 school buses. And it represents the amount of toxic PVC used in packaging in Washington state each year. PVC is among the most toxic plastics used today, and virtually none of it is recycled.

Washington Department of Ecology has the opportunity to protect health and ban PVC and PVDC in packaging under the state’s groundbreaking Safer Products for Washington law. Instead, it is proposing to delay action for five years. In that time, more than 100 million pounds of toxic plastic will continue to enter the waste stream!

Safer alternatives already exist. Washington can—and should—move forward now.

Tell Washington: Protect our health and don’t delay action on toxic plastics.

The world is struggling to make progress on a Global Plastics Treaty. That makes leadership from states like Washington more important than ever.

PVC and PVDC are among the most toxic plastics in use today, and safer alternatives already exist.

Washington Department of Ecology should lead by example and move forward with action on toxic plastics now, not in five years.

Children are especially vulnerable to toxic chemical exposure. Industry-backed efforts to weaken the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) could put their health at greater risk.

Congress should protect children’s health before chemical industry interests. Protect TSCA; don’t weaken it.

PVC and PVDC plastic packaging, made from cancer-causing chemicals, threatens public health and the environment throughout its lifecycle.

Washington state can act now to reduce toxic plastics in packaging—but is proposing to wait five years.

Tell Washington Department of Ecology: act now to protect our health and the environment from toxic plastics.

⚠️ Congress is considering changes that could weaken TSCA, our nation's chemical safety law.

Weakening it would make it harder to protect families from toxic chemicals linked to cancer, Parkinson's disease, infertility, and other serious health harms.

That's why Toxic-Free Future and 250+ organizations representing doctors, nurses, firefighters, veterans, scientists, workers, parents, environmental justice leaders, and communities across the country are urging Congress to reject these rollbacks.

Together, we’re sending Congress one clear message:

🛡️ PROTECT OUR HEALTH. PROTECT TSCA.

Congress should put Americans' health before chemical industry profits.

Another fantastic SOPASUPA event is in the books!

Thanks to Cultivate South Park for including us in this fun day of live music, lucha libre, food trucks, art, and more. We loved connecting with Seattle’s South Park community, sharing U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Safer Choice cleaning products, and talking about simple ways to make healthier consumer choices.

Thanks for having us, South Park. We can’t wait to be back next year! 💚

Data centers are being criticized for their enormous water use, but that's not the whole story.

Some companies are now turning to PFAS "forever chemicals" to cool data centers. That means the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure could create a new source of toxic chemical pollution, with health and climate impacts.

PFAS are linked to cancer, immune system harm, reproductive problems, and other serious health harms. We shouldn't solve one environmental problem by creating another.

As companies push to rapidly expand AI and data center infrastructure, we need to fully account for the impacts on our health, our communities, and our environment, especially the dangers of using more forever chemicals.

🏠 Toxic chemicals linked to cancer, reproductive harm, and other serious health harms can be found in everyday products throughout our homes—from furniture to cookware and personal care products.

We can't shop our way out of this problem. We need Congress to protect TSCA, our nation's chemical safety law, and keep dangerous chemicals out of the products we all use.

250 organizations have a message for Congress: Put people's health before chemical industry profits.

Congress must reject industry efforts to weaken our nation's chemical safety law. Instead of listening to industry lobbyists, lawmakers should hear from the people living with the consequences of toxic chemical exposure every day, including impacted communities, veterans, workers, and health professionals.

Americans deserve stronger protections from toxic chemicals linked to cancer, reproductive harm, and other serious health concerns—not dangerous rollbacks that put corporate polluters first.
