Footprint Executives presented at the Plastic Health Summit, to share the health risks that plastics are contributing to the world and the people that live on this beautiful planet. There’s now a plastic crisis that has been flooding our blue planet for almost a century. Can we leave a better world behind for the next generation? And how can we do that? Will plastic make us and our (grand)children ill? Footprint is the global leader working with the Fortune 50 companies eliminate food packaging from their manufacturing, supply chain and stores.
At this first-ever global Plastic Health Summit, a host of leading scientists, policymakers, influencers, and innovators were present, united in one common goal: the search for answers to questions which have not yet been asked, answers that can make the difference for our children in the near future.
Worldwide, scientific research on the possible harmful effects of micro- and nano-plastics on human cells and organs is still in its infancy. Now there are more and more alarms being raised about the possible health risks of plastic. “We already have strong indications that our health and that of our children are at stake due to the thousands of chemicals that are added to plastic. We also know that the effects of these chemicals can accumulate over generations.”
