Plastics and the chemicals they contain have become deeply embedded in our lives within only a single generation. They are found in the vast majority of items we rely on every day – from food packaging and takeaway containers to clothing, furniture, hygiene products, infant feeding bottles and children’s toys.

This report shares our novel analyses of the PlastChem data to shed light on the risks presented to human health by everyday items containing plastic-associated chemicals. The findings make the case for a world where the products we use every day are safe by design; today, they are not.

The EU’s Landing Obligation (LO) is intended to reduce waste, encourage selective fishing and improve the catch information used to manage populations. For catches within the LO scope, fishers must retain, record and land catches, including bycatch, and count them against quota where applicable, subject to defined exemptions. More than a decade after the obligation was phased in, and seven years after it became fully applicable, these objectives have not been achieved.

This briefing from EJF and Oceana provides a roadmap for ensuring the EU Landing Obligation’s full implementation.
