The NYT gives a great list of compounds to avoid in “personal-care” products — including soaps, shampoos & more. They also give alternate names so you can read labels carefully.
But what’s better?

The EU has taken action to limit their use in products, saving thousands of boys from potential infertility in the future.

Much of the plastic used in hospital equipment—tubing, blood bags, masks and more—is PVC, as is most of the piping used in modern plumbing. Window frames, housing trim, siding and flooring are made of, or include, PVC. It coats electrical wiring and comprises materials such as shower curtains, tents, tarps and clothing.
It also has a zero percent #recycling rate in the United States.
Now, University of Michigan researchers, led by study first author Danielle Fagnani and principal investigator Anne McNeil, have discovered a way to chemically recycle PVC into usable material. The most fortuitous part of the study? The researchers found a way to use the #phthalates in the plasticizers—one of PVC’s most noxious components—as the mediator for the chemical reaction. Their results are published in the journal Nature Chemistry.
