Plastic – superhero or environmental villain?

Plastic is everywhere in our everyday lives and is in many ways a fantastic material. At the same time, plastic can be problematic, not least from a chemical perspective. Is plastic a hero or a villain, and how do we move towards sustainable plastic use?

Bio-based, degradable, recycled. The concepts are many and to some extent unclear. How du you make sustainable material choices? To learn more about this, the Swedish Centre for Chemical Substitution has arranged a seminar with speakers with different perspectives on the sustainable use of plastics. 
Watch the seminar (in Swedish) here:

An opportunity to highlight the innovative power of the food system

Non-toxic toys – unfortunately not something you can take for granted

Surely no parent would voluntarily put a toy containing carcinogens in the hands of their child. Nevertheless, there is a risk that we will do so, especially if the item in question comes from an online marketplace.
