How can the potential harm caused by novel entities be curbed?
- Reduce the sheer number of synthetic chemicals produced globally
- Where possible substitute naturally occurring alternatives
- Ensure novel entities are recycled as a part of a closed circular economy.
- Ensure no leakage of novel entities into air, water or soil systems
- Continue to evaluate the risks posed by each novel entity.
As consumers we can try and avoid products that utilise novel entities but in reality we will have to accept that they are so engrained into our systems, that we will not always be able to avoid them. Nevertheless doing what we can will help highlight the issue for others.
