How to avoid forever plastics and live a sustainable lifestyle

Are Forever Plastics, or PFAs, Sneaking into your Healthy Lifestyle?

Team Mache

One of the most dangerous, yet commonly used materials, is forever plastics. Not only are they toxic for our lungs, but their non-degradable nature also poses a threat to our planet. Whether or not we know it, forever plastics like PVC creep into our daily lives far too often. This material is commonly used in items we find in our homes, from toys to furniture, to fitness equipment. By identifying ‘forever plastics’ in our physical spaces, we can actively work to curate a space that is healthy for both ourselves and the planet.
