Programmes like The Plastic Detox highlight something Wen has been raising the alarm about for decades. That many of the chemicals used in everyday products can interfere with our hormones and potentially affect our health and fertility.
Consumers and workers are increasingly concerned about what they and their families are exposed to, but it shouldn’t be left to individuals to ‘detox’ their lives and in order to stay safe. People deserve clear information and stronger protections so they can trust the products they bring into their homes and exposure in the workplace.
For over 30 years Wen has campaigned for safer, more transparent regulation of chemicals in consumer items from baby toys to personal care items. This documentary is another reminder that reducing harmful chemical exposures isn’t just about individual choices, it requires systemic change to ensure products on the market are safe for everyone.
