🔄 International Day of Zero Waste: linking waste reduction with chemical safety On the International Day of Zero Waste, we highlight the growing need for safe and sustainable waste management to support Europe’s circular economy goals. As recycling increases, understanding and managing chemicals in waste is crucial. Here’s how #EU_PARC research is contributing: We focus on reducing chemical risks while recycling key waste streams like plastics, electronics, and textiles. Our goal is to minimise harmful chemical exposure as we reduce waste. 🔬 Our latest efforts focus on:  📌 Making plastic recycling safer – identifying and reducing hazardous chemicals in plastic waste to ensure safe reuse in everyday products.  📌 Assessing the chemical risks in e-waste recycling – preventing exposure to harmful substances during recycling for both workers and the environment. 🌍 Let’s work towards a zero-waste world that’s also chemical-safe for people and the planet. 🔗 Find out more about our efforts on waste reduction and chemical safety: www.eu-parc.eu #EU_PARC #ZeroWaste #ChemicalSafety #SustainableWaste #CircularEconomy #PARCResearch #SustainableFuture #WasteManagement #ChemicalRisk #ZeroWasteDay
