Why Shop for PVC-Free School Supplies?
Children’s school supplies, such as lunchboxes, backpacks and binders, are often made out of PVC — the poison plastic. These products often contain toxic chemical additives, such as phthalates and lead, that can leach out or evaporate into the air — posing unnecessary dangers to your children.
Children are at risk from even small exposures to these toxic chemicals. That’s why it’s especially important to purchase PVC-free school supplies.
To help you making make safer and healthier choices, CHEJ’s researchers compiled this brand new guide of the most common back-to-school supplies made out of PVC plastic and provided safer PVC-free alternatives.
