• Americans discard more than 30 million tons of plastic a year
• Only 8% gets recycled• Most plastic waste ends
up in landfills, is incinerated, or becomes litter

Contaminants in the Environment
• Approximately 60,000 - 80,000 chemicals on the market today
• Not tested for safety to humans, animals or the environment, under existing law
• About 80% are polymers and plastics • Health and science authorities estimate
approximately 1 in 5 cases of cancer caused by chemicals and environmental exposure
