![]() The brief highlights relevant tools and reports, as well as recommendations and opportunities the newly agreed Global Framework on Chemicals, the successor to SAICM, provides. Implemented in over 40 countries, the project also seeks to contribute to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the achievement of the SDGs. The project focuses on: lead in paint chemicals in products, including toys, electronics, textiles, and building and construction and knowledge and stakeholder engagement. This policy brief explores efforts and initiatives to advance the issue of CoC in toys, particularly under the Global Environment Facility (GEF)-funded project on Global Best Practices on Emerging Chemical Policy Issues of Concern under SAICM, launched in 2019. For this reason, the Strategic Alliance for International Chemicals Management (SAICM) considers toys a priority sector under its Chemicals in Products (CiP) Programme, which aims to accelerate the adoption of measures by value chain stakeholders, including governments, to track and control chemicals in the toy supply chain. ![]() Since children are more vulnerable to the health impacts of such CoC, their use in toys is regulated, although that does not mean that, in practice, such chemicals are not present. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), like phthalates, are associated with higher rates of childhood cancer and endocrine disruption. Cadmium (found, for example, in batteries) is an endocrine disruptor that affects reproductive development. Such chemicals include mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium. While CoC provide toys with certain functions such as fragrance, color, and plasticity, exposure can result in long-term health effects for children, interfering with the hormone system or cognitive development. ![]() CoC in toys often enter the lifecycle during plastic production, painting, and coating, or through recycled plastic materials. Increased circularity and recycling rates of materials, for example, can lead to the introduction of hazardous chemicals as unintentional contaminants to the toys value chain. The chemical composition of toys is often not known, and some of the chemicals that are present in toys, may have hazardous properties. Like many consumer products, toys are composed of a range of materials, such as plastics, textiles, and metals. Parents should not have to worry whether the toys their children play with pose a risk to their health. They can also be exposed through inhalation and contact with the skin. Young children put toys in their mouths and chew on them. Despite this, some CoC have been used in the manufacturing and production of toys. They love our products.When it comes to exposure to chemicals of concern (CoC), children are one of the most vulnerable populations due to their rapid metabolic rate, high surface-area-to-body-weight ratio, and rapid growth of organs and tissues.
