It's plausible that broad concern about recycled plastics would be valid.

This study[1] found that the recycled plastics analyzed were fairly toxic. I recall another that found the same for recycled synthetic clothing, but I was unable to find a reference.

Egad. We really need to be breaking these back down into oil or syngas and resynthesizing new plastics from that.
