Deense EPA vindt vervangers voor ftalaten beschikbaar voor sommige producten

In March 2014, the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a 26-page report that presents a complicated view of the current situation. The report claims that in many instances alternatives are currently available, although at an increased cost. For some products, including electronics, a complete phase out of the four phthalates may not be possible by the extended 2015 deadline.
The report also noted that the use of recycled PVC could present a problem in instances where contamination from phthalates (used during a previous product life cycle) exceeds the 0.1% concentration (by weight) permissible level (State Recycling Laws Update, 4 april 2014).
