30 Nov 2023 --- Environmentalists and civil society organizations are welcoming the findings of a report on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), which shows the environmental and human harms produced by PVC microplastics and other substances commonly added to it. More than 60 environmental NGOs, including Zero Waste Europe (ZWE), the European Environment Bureau (EBB) and ClientEarth, are calling on the European Commission (EC) to phase out PVC by 2030 under the REACH regulation.
