IPEN: Exposing Problems from Toxic Chemicals in Plastics

IPEN is a global network of NGOs working to protect people and the planet from harmful chemicals. In this 2.5 minute video we created with them, we raise awareness around dangerous chemicals in plastics like BPA, PFAS, and others linked to cancer, infertility and other serious conditions.
