New HEJSupport #Podcast Episode Out Now! In the latest episode of #BuildingAWorldWithoutToxins, we dive into the European Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (#ESPR) with expert Dr. Julian Schenten. @clientearthEU 👉 Listen here: https://ow.ly/2qll50XIhkp

New HEJSupport and @esdo report reveals severe chemical pollution in Bangladesh’s textile communities. A clear call for safer chemicals, stronger due diligence & transparency. 📄 Full report and summary: https://ow.ly/YWyU50XGMyi

We are happy to join 137 organisations to urge @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu to strengthen enforcement of EU pesticide law to protect human health and the environment! @paneurope.bsky.social

🚨 Investors are sounding the alarm on PFAS. The decision to split the EU-wide PFAS restriction and leave out eight major use categories, combined with vague discussions about “emission control” instead of a full phase-out, is causing concern: (1/3)

Our new report “Combating Plastic Pollution in EECCA Countries” reveals plastic flows, toxic additives & policy gaps in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine & Uzbekistan. The report builds a road map toward toxic-free #CircularEconomy in EECCA @brsmeas #PlasticsTreaty

🚨 PFAS pollution is not cheap, we pay the price with our health, environment, economy 📣 We have launched a new #PFAS manifesto, calling for a broad restriction on PFAS by 2030 Read more: www.banpfasmanifesto.org/en/ https://hej-support.org/pfas-manifesto-launched/#PFAS#BanPFAS #StopPFAS @chemtrust @eeb

HEJSupport joined 41 organisations in calling on the EU COM to uphold chemical transparency and traceability in products. Without it, circularity & health are at risk. Citizens have the right to know what’s in what they buy. 👉 Read the joint letter: https://ow.ly/KA4N50X51BS

#PFAS are raining down on #GreatLakes and accumulating in the most vital freshwater supply. Air, rain & runoff all play a role. Time for class‑wide regulation, cross-border action, stricter limits @hejsupport.bsky.social @toxicsfree.bsky.social newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/202...

👕 The textile industry uses over 1,600 toxic chemicals in dyeing, contributing to 20% of global water pollution 🌍 Join us in making a difference! Support sustainable textiles at HEJSupport: 👉 hej-support.org #SustainableFashion #ToxicFreeFuture #PlasticFreeJuly

Over 60% of clothes are plastic-based. Washing them releases microplastics. Choose natural fibers like cotton, linen & hemp! What natural fibers do you prefer? #SustainableFashion #PlasticsTreaty #PlasticFreeJuly #PlasticPollution sustainfashion.info

💡Fast Facts: Less than 1% of clothes are recycled globally. Over 60% of clothing worldwide is made from synthetic fibres, which are essentially types of plastic. ➡️ Discover more insights now! Click: hej-support.org/textiles-start/ #SustainableFashion #EthicalFashion #PlasticsTreaty

Negotiating the #PlasticsTreaty isn’t just about recycling; it’s about protecting health and the planet. A binding global agreement must tackle toxic chemicals across the entire plastics life cycle and center on justice and future generations @beyondplastics.bsky.social @toxicsfree.bsky.social

According to the 2021 study, Southeast Asia appears to be the most severely affected region, where 6 of the top 10 countries are leaching #plasticpollutants into the ocean #PlasticsTreaty @breakfreefromplastic.org @oceanconservancy.org

Sludge, a mix of human and industrial waste from wastewater treatment, is often spread on farmland as “biosolid” fertilizer because it’s rich in plant nutrients. However, it also contains #PFAS, making this a significant source of environmental and food chain contamination

A new U.S. study finds that sewage treatment plants and sludge-spreading farms are significant sources of #PFAS. 95% of downstream water tests show elevated levels, posing cancer, liver, birth‑defect & immune risks @chemsec.bsky.social @chemtrusteurope.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Microplastics aren’t just in oceans and soils —they’re in the air we breathe. As #PlasticsTreaty takes shape, we must include atmospheric #microplastics in the conversation @breakfreefromplastic.org @ciel.org @toxicsfree.bsky.social

Plastics are not just a pollution problem—they're a public health crisis. Roughly 5,000 chemicals found in plastics remain largely unstudied, leaving scientists in the dark about their potential toxicity and the health risks they may pose #PlasticsTreaty #transparency #RightToKnow #WHO #Humanhealth

#ToxicBeauty creams containing #mercury are endangering lives in Sri Lanka—some with mercury levels 51,000x above the safe limit. Many have no batch numbers, leaving consumers in the dark #PublicHealth #RightToKnow @toxicsfree.bsky.social @chemsec.bsky.social @alexcaterbow.bsky.social

In Sri Lanka, high levels of mercury were found in many cosmetic products, which are typically sold in various stores. Experts caution against unregistered products and advocate for stricter regulations #ToxicBeauty @minamataMEA @toxicsfree.bsky.social slguardian.org/toxic-beauty...

#IOMC Workshop on #GFC implementation programs is starting. Three days to find out what industry and other stakeholders can do to prevent harm from chemicals. @eeb.org @toxicsfree.bsky.social @hcwheurope.bsky.social @exitplastik.bsky.social @bffp.bsky.social

We protested together with 9 other organisations in front of the building of the German Chemical Industry Association VCI against their disgusting lobbying activities on #PFAS. We demand full protection of human health and the environment - not profit before people!

Great op-ed on #BanPFAS! Congrats to everyone involved! Please read below.

We are very happy to have co-signed this important letter on the #ecodesign regluation! @ecosngo.bsky.social @rethinkplastic.bsky.social @bffp.bsky.social
