What Are the Environmental Concerns Related to Gum Base?
Environmental toxicology looks at the impact of gum base on ecological systems. Chewing gum is one of the most littered items globally, and its non-biodegradable nature means it can persist in the environment for a long time. This raises concerns about the potential release of harmful substances as it degrades. Efforts are underway to develop more biodegradable alternatives to traditional gum bases.
