But some of the nation\u2019s biggest retailers and FMCG companies to date have failed to meaningfully disclose, reduce, or fully eliminate chemicals of concern in plastic food packaging. Instead, public sustainability reporting from these companies focuses extensively on recyclability and increasing recycled content, metrics that do little to address chemical exposure. Increasing recycled content does not remove chemicals of concern from circulation; in some cases, it can introduce additional chemicals.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2026\/04\/5c68549f-gp1sww3t_low-res-with-credit-line-800px.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-76606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2026\/04\/5c68549f-gp1sww3t_low-res-with-credit-line-800px.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2026\/04\/5c68549f-gp1sww3t_low-res-with-credit-line-800px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2026\/04\/5c68549f-gp1sww3t_low-res-with-credit-line-800px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2026\/04\/5c68549f-gp1sww3t_low-res-with-credit-line-800px-510x340.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Documentation of the preparation of organic meals at a kindergarten in Altona, Hamburg.
