  • Are plastic additives a global problem?
  • Some plastic additives have been restricted globally through mechanisms such as the Stockholm Convention. ICCA recognizes that the leakage of plastic pollution into the environment is a critical global problem. The chemicals and plastics industry strongly supports the creation of a global agreement to accelerate action to address this issue.
  • Are plastic additives toxic?
  • Plastic additives have significant toxicities in every kind of biota exposed to them. Plastic additives are subjected to trophic transfer in different food webs. A steep rise in global plastic production and significant discharge of plastic waste are expected in the near future.
  • Who should be responsible for Toxic additives in plastic products?
  • Industries should take responsibility if any damage caused by the leaching of toxic additives from the products. Manufacturers of all plastic materials should provide transparent labelling that clearly identifies the chemical additives used in the production of plastic articles.
  • What are plastic additives used for?
  • Plastic additives are used to impart or enhance specific physical and chemical properties (e.g., heat resistance, ductility, and resistance to photodegradation) of polymeric materials during the production and processing of plastics (Fauvelle et al., 2021).
  • Are plastic additives a problem in the marine environment?
  • In addition, plastic additives are subject to migration in the marine environment. More than 8000,000 tonnes of plastics accumulate in the marine environment each year, accounting for 80 per cent of marine litter (Andrady, 2011), and various plastic additives have been detected in seawater globally (Bergé et al., 2013).
  • What are the different types of plastic additives?
  • 3. Types and hazards of common plastic additives A variety of additives are used in the production of plastics to affect their various properties, with the main categories including plasticizers, flame retardants, stabilizers, and antimicrobials.
