Glob­al Tox­ic Footprint

Plan­et Tracker

Chem­i­cal pol­lu­tion from plas­tics and petro­chem­i­cal com­pa­nies pos­es seri­ous health risks world­wide, yet the true impact is often hidden. 

This project by Plan­et Track­er will assess the ten largest multi­na­tion­al plas­tics and petro­chem­i­cal com­pa­nies across major pro­duc­tion regions. Emis­sions of PFAS, phtha­lates, diox­ins and heavy met­als will be trans­lat­ed into health met­rics such as Dai­ly Adjust­ed Life Years (DALYs) to reveal their real-world impact. Com­pa­nies will be ranked by total harm and ​“tox­ic inten­si­ty,” and find­ings shared with finan­cial insti­tu­tions and civ­il soci­ety to dri­ve respon­si­ble invest­ment and advo­ca­cy, includ­ing the UN Glob­al Plas­tics Treaty. By devel­op­ing dig­i­tal tools and scal­able bench­marks, the project aims to increase trans­paren­cy, account­abil­i­ty and safer pro­duc­tion prac­tices across the glob­al industry.
