There are more than 10,000 chemicals associated with plastic. Whilst relatively few have undergone significant research, there is a growing body of evidence about the harmful effects which plastics may cause to human health and the environment. Those involved in the manufacture, use and distribution of plastics are now the subject of active litigation by environmental activists in various parts of the world.

We explore bodily injury claims brought by employees, consumers and members of the public, property damage claims from those whose property has been contaminated and environmental litigation seeking the remediation of the natural environment and associated economic losses.
