Toy or Toxic Waste?

2017 - Czech
Our study is a continuation of the investigations of IPEN and Arnika that found octaBDE, decaBDE and HBCD in Rubik's cubes, children's toys and hair accessories, i.e., products that were not treated with these substances but made of recycled plastic. The previous study indicates that banned brominated flame retardants commonly found in hazardous electronic and building waste are recycled into new products where they were not present historically. We conducted additional sampling to further examine whether toxic substances are being recycled into children’s toys on the Czech market. Studie z prosince 2017 shrnuje základní výsledky analýzy přítomnosti toxických látek, konkrétně bromovaných zpomalovačů hoření v hračkách pro děti vyrobených z recyklovaných plastů. Studie vznikla v rámci projektu Recykluj bez jedů a jejím cílem je upozornit na problematiku recyklace plastů s obsahem toxických látek a jejich návratu do oběhu v podobě nových výrobcích.
