About us
Who we are
CHEM Trust's overarching aim is to prevent synthetic chemicals from causing long term damage to wildlife or humans, by ensuring that chemicals which cause such harm are substituted with safer alternatives.
We work with policy makers, scientists, and other charities and civil society groups to campaign for restrictions on hazardous chemicals. We specifically focus on chemicals that can disrupt the endocrine system.
Our other key areas of work include chemicals in food contact materials (such as takeaway food packaging or coffee cups), and chemicals in the marine environment.
CHEM Trust is a collaboration between CHEM Trust, a UK-registered charity, and CHEM Trust Europe, a charity based in Germany.
