A 2024 study identified 69 potentially harmful compounds in toys made from recycled high-density polyethylene.

Toxic substances have been found in school uniforms, baby textiles, and children’s jewelry and toys, often exceeding safety limits.Ensuring children’s safety from toxic chemicals in everyday products requires urgent global attention.

According to Zagury, while analyzing the samples poses no major technical difficulties, enforcement of regulations remains problematic. Estacho stressed that regulations for recycled materials remain underdeveloped. Migration studies—critical for understanding how substances transfer from products to the human body—are complex, expensive, and not universally mandated. Without robust safeguards, recycled toys can introduce new health risks.The biggest challenge in implementing advanced cleaning technologies lies in the technical complexity and associated costs.

Estacho cautions that implementation faces significant challenges. The complexity stems from two main factors: identifying and monitoring various potential pollutants, and addressing the diverse production processes that complicate material standardization.
