Safer chemistry

Fewer harmful chemicals

What our everyday things are made of doesn’t stay put — it migrates into our food, water, and us.

93%

of Americans carry BPA — a hormone-disrupting plastic chemical — in their bodies.

The case

Why it matters

BPA, phthalates, and PFAS leach out of the plastics and coatings we eat and drink from, and they’re linked to hormone disruption and other health harms. You can’t filter your way out of every exposure, but you can choose what your everyday things are made of. Steel, glass, cork, and natural rubber simply don’t have the same chemistry to give off.

Take action

What you can do

    Keep plastic and nonstick away from hot food and drink.

  3. 03

    Check what a product is actually made of before the marketing.
