How Can Toxicology Contribute to a Sustainable Circular Economy?
Toxicology contributes to a sustainable circular economy by ensuring that the materials circulated are non-toxic and environmentally benign. This involves rigorous testing and evaluation of materials for potential health hazards. Toxicologists can also guide policy development by providing scientific evidence on the safety of materials, influencing regulations that support safe recycling practices. Moreover, toxicologists can help educate industries and consumers about the importance of choosing non-toxic materials and products, promoting a culture of safety and sustainability.
