As we know that ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has extremely low coefficient of friction and it is highly resistant to foreign chemicals.
Very much depend on the application, for example if uses for manufacturing equipment then shouldn't cause toxicity. Find more here:

It can be ecotoxic in aspect of pollution with non-biodegradable polymers. This is heavy problem for the living creatures in oceans nowadays.
Thank you very much for providing valuable information.
