I get the American Chemical Society’s Chemical and Engineering News and every single issue has at least a small communication about these chemicals.

And the past few years a lot about microplastics.

Companies should really do long-term environmental testing on their products.

One of my professors in Packaging Engineering was into biodegradable packaging polymers for this very reason.

Please explain how they are to do that?

The effects are so small, they are difficult for the government to detect, with huge amounts over decades, and enormous advances in our ability to detect extraordinarily tiny amounts.
