On January 15, 2008, the European Commission's Scientific Committee on Health and the Environment (SCHER) (1) issued a comment based on the environmental impact results of the June 2007 risk assessment report for tetrabromobisphenol A (2). SCHER believes that "overall, tetrabromobisphenol A has excellent performance (good quality)." In principle, SCHER agrees with the conclusions made in the Risk Assessment Report (RAR). For example, tetrabromobisphenol A used in reactive form in epoxy resins for printed circuit boards does not pose significant risks to the environment. However, specific plastics (ABS) that use tetrabromobisphenol A in an additive form have been confirmed to cause risks to soil, sediment and water during the production process. Therefore, the European Union adopts the Risk Reduction Strategy (RRS) to reduce the use of tetrabromobisphenol A in the industry to reduce this risk without restricting the trade and use of tetrabromobisphenol A. SCHER suggested the conclusion that (i) tetrabromobisphenol A may decompose into bisphenol A. This also reaffirms RAR's conclusion that "no risks have been identified at this stage." The EU Executive Commission will refer to SCHER's recommendations, together with the completed RAR and RRS, and publish the final recommendations for tetrabromobisphenol A in the official journal.
In early 2007, San Francisco proposed law amendment No. 120-06, reiterating that toys, child care and child feeding products are prohibited from containing phthalates (Phthalates); on October 14, 2007, the California Governor passed AB 1108. . Starting from January 1, 2009, this bill will restrict the manufacture and sale of certain toys and child care products to not exceed the limits of six phthalate compounds. Phthalates are chemicals used to increase the plasticity of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic products and to add fragrance to cosmetics. They can be used in many products used by children, such as teethers, toys, and soft plastic books. In California, four compounds, including DEHP, DBP, BBP, and DIDP, are chemicals known to cause cancer or produce toxicity. Toy means "all products designed or intended by the manufacturer to be used by children for fun." Child care articles are "any products that help children sleep, relax, maintain hygiene, feed children, or allow children to suck, including pacifiers of various shapes and types." The six phthalate items restricted by the California AB 1108 bill are exactly the same as those stipulated in the EU Directive 2005/84/EC. The comparison is shown in the following table: Phthalates California AB 1108 Bill EU Directive 2005/84/ EC Restricted Product Limits Restricted Product Limits D

Are you still taking chances? Perhaps you don’t know that EU countries have launched investigations into products on the market that comply with the RoHS directive. In the past, some people in the industry still believed that the RoHS directive would never be implemented. So far, the UK has launched more than 200 product investigations. In September this year, the first case of prosecution for violating the ROHS directive occurred in the UK. It is understood that Denmark is cooperating with three other Nordic countries (Norway, Sweden and Finland) to launch monitoring operations on 25 types of consumer products (IT, telecommunications, audio and toys), and the results will be released in December 2007. Belgium has also conducted on-site XRF screening of 88 electronic products on the market. The RoHS (2002/95/EC) directive aims to harmonize the laws of EU member states restricting the use of hazardous substances in electronic and electrical equipment, protect human health, and promote the recycling and processing of waste electronic and electrical equipment in an environmentally friendly manner. Require. In fact, EU countries have formed a RoHS Network to communicate with each other and share experiences regarding the implementation of the RoHS Directive. The current chairman of the RoHS Network is the British representative. Common enforcement practices in various countries include document review, customs inspection when goods enter the customs, purchase or seizure on the market, and even cross-border transfers, etc. At present, most EU countries have experience in inspecting low-concentration heavy metals in the packaging materials directive, but they have less experience with more complex electronic and electrical equipment. Therefore, the recent market product testing and survey activities are like testing the responsibilities of various countries.
The "Up In Smoke" alliance, composed of about 20 major international environmental development organizations, warned in a statement yesterday that in the face of the threat of climate change to humans and the environment, unless immediate response measures and action, otherwise global warming will set back the social and economic development of the entire Asian region for decades. The Vanish Alliance, composed of the international public welfare organization Action Aid, the International Institute for Environmental Development in London, and Greenpeace, made the above statement in a press statement issued at a press conference in New Delhi yesterday. The press statement quoted the alliance's report titled "Evaporated: Asia-Pacific" as saying that several regions in Asia are already beginning to show the impact of climate change. For example, last month, a typhoon hit the southeastern coast of mainland China, affecting five million people. . According to a report cited by the Vanish Alliance established four years ago, Asia, which has more than two-thirds of the world's population, will bear the brunt of the consequences of climate change. In particular, more than half of Asia's population lives in coastal areas. Many Pacific island countries, such as Vanuatu, are already in crisis due to rising sea levels caused by fossil fuels. The alliance reports that 87 percent of the world's 400 million small-scale rural areas are known to be located in Asia. These rural areas are particularly vulnerable to climate change because they rely on regular and reliable rain. For example, droughts have increased in northern China, destroying the livelihoods of local farmers; in addition, ten counties in western mainland China have
Thirty-five environmental and humanitarian relief groups released a research report on "Will the Asia-Pacific Region Be Destroyed?" on the 19th, warning that if countries around the world do not pay attention to the issue of climate change, the Asia-Pacific will be the most severely affected region, and the economy will suffer the most in decades. Social development is likely to be ruined. The report points out that more and more studies show that temperatures in Asia will continue to rise during this century. Negative consequences include rainfall and monsoons becoming more unpredictable, severely affecting crop harvests, and typhoons and tropical storms becoming more powerful. Rising sea levels will also threaten Pacific island countries with national subjugation. Small farms are hardest hit. Research has found that Asia accounts for 87% of the world's 400 million small farms, and these small-scale farming operations are most affected by climate change. If the temperature at night during the production season rises by one degree Celsius, rice production in Asia will decrease by 10%. Wheat production will decrease by 32% by 2050. In addition, the boom in biomass energy crops will accelerate deforestation and lead to increased global warming. Floods, droughts, and grain production are reduced by country. Island countries such as Vanuatu, Kiribati, and Tuvalu are already threatened by rising sea levels, and the four billion people in coastal areas of Asia may also be affected; 70% of the population works in agriculture. Bangladesh has been affected by changes in temperature and rainfall patterns, and crop output has been affected; India is facing both heavy rains and the threat of drought in some areas. "If we just sit back and do nothing, India will lose 30% of its grain output"; China has been affected by drought and Other factors threaten to reduce yields of major crops by 37% by the end of the century. The report calls on advanced countries to implement
Since this year, many states in the United States have greatly strengthened their supervision of electronic waste. Among them, Connecticut, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oregon and Texas have all passed similar electronic waste management regulations. Previously, eight states including Arkansas, California, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Washington State had implemented relevant regulations. In the medium term, more states will legislate to regulate e-waste. As more and more states formulate their own e-waste laws, the United States needs to formulate federal laws in this regard, or implement uniform national standards through various relevant parties. A brief summary of the electronic waste laws passed by many states in the United States is as follows: Minnesota (MINNESOTA) Starting from September 1, 2007, all new video display equipment must bear a clear and permanent manufacturer's trademark, and the manufacturer must also Participate in the annual registration program run by state government authorities, otherwise the equipment may not be sold to retailers. Starting September 1, 2008, manufacturers must submit annual reports to state authorities showing the retail sales of video equipment containing hazardous substances that exceed EU standards. Video display equipment refers to televisions and computer monitors sold to households, including laptop computers, with screens exceeding 9 inches diagonally. Connecticut (CONNECTICUT) Starting from January 1, 2008, all regulated electronic equipment must bear a clear and permanent manufacturer's trademark, and manufacturers must also participate in the annual registration program implemented by state government authorities.
The EU Energy Using Products (EuP) Directive was officially announced in 2005, and the formulation of related supporting tools and standards has been gradually launched. The EU improves the energy efficiency and environmental performance of products by standardizing the ecological design requirements for energy-using products. EuP generally refers to all products that use energy to perform operations. Energy includes electricity, solid, liquid and gaseous energy (but vehicles are not limited to this). At this stage, the EU has designated 19 (14 + 5) categories of products for priority control based on the importance and influence of the products, including: personal computers/screens, consumer electronics (such as TVs), batteries/power supplies, etc., and Conduct preliminary research. In the future, products must comply with the ecological design requirements of the applicable implementation methods and must obtain the CE mark before they can circulate freely in the EU market.
According to the new progress report of the European Commission, the EU officially adopted a specification for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in 2004, which can be regarded as a major achievement, especially after a long period of controversy; its specification is mainly: Reduce the content of harmful substances such as Dioxins, Furans and PCBs. Each country must publish a product catalog and improvement plan, which are the basic tools for the 2004 POPs specification (EED 07/06/04) to require minimum releases of dioxin, furans and polychlorinated biphenyls. Some Member States have already adopted this improvement plan, while others are still in the process of preparation. At the beginning of this year, the Commission adopted an EU-level improvement plan (EED 27/03/07) to implement POPs regulations. It emphasizes the need to properly enforce existing laws to suppress substances such as dioxin, furans and polychlorinated biphenyls, such as the well-established Pollution Prevention and Control Act (IPPC) and the Waste Structures Directive. POPs are also considered the best technical reference documents for review under the IPPC directive, and two new POPs obsolete specifications (EED 27/02/07 and EED 12/07/06) were also adopted last year. The progress report also celebrates a new industrial emissions data register with lower reporting thresholds for substances such as dioxin, furans and polychlorinated biphenyls (EED 06/02/06). But it also mentioned that in Europe
In June 2007, the Norwegian Pollution Control Authority proposed to the World Trade Organization (WTO) that during the production, import, export, and sale of consumer products, the content of harmful substances in each uniform material must not exceed the legal limit. The main purpose of this law is to limit the harm of consumer products to the human body and the environment, as well as the content of harmful substances in waste. Norway's PoHS has more and broader items restricting hazardous substances than the EU RoHS. Almost all consumer products are within its scope of control, with only a few excluded, such as: food, food packaging, fertilizers, medical equipment and cigarettes, as well as transportation Tools, transport fixtures, tires and similar transport accessories. The 18 hazardous substances and limits controlled by PoHS are as follows: Substance name limit (wt%) Substance name limit (wt%) Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) 0.1 Musk xyleneMusk ketone 0.05 Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) 1 Perfluorooctyl acid (PFOA) and individuals alts and esters of PFOA 0.005 * Medium-chainedChlorinated paraffins,C14-C17 (MCCP) 0.1 DTDMA
On June 27, 2007, the European Commission adopted a bill on regulations on the classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures, aiming to align the EU system with the United Nations Global Harmonized System. If the bill is passed, the current individual labeling requirements for products imported into the EU will be lifted, which should benefit Hong Kong and mainland Chinese manufacturers. In addition, the Ordinance Bill is also complementary to the new Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals Regulations ("REACH"). The current EU chemical classification and labeling system is set out in the following three important directives, which provide a high degree of protection in terms of health, safety, environment and consumers: • Hazardous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC); • Hazardous Preparations Directive ( 1999/45/EC); • Safety Data Sheet Directive (91/155/EEC – from 1 June 2007, this directive has been replaced by the REACH regulation). The first two directives above set out the requirements for classification, packaging and labeling of hazardous substances and preparations, while the third directive ensures that suppliers of substances and preparations provide professional customers with information on the hazards and safe use of chemicals. The goals of the regulations include: 1) unifying the classification, labeling and packaging rules for substances and mixtures; 2) requiring companies to classify the substances and mixtures they manufacture on their own and notify relevant authorities; 3) developing a unified list of substances; 4) A label catalog is provided. The following is an example of labeling changes for extremely flammable chemicals: For most chemicals, the proposed regime would be similar to the current regime
Regulation: 2006/122/EC Focus: Strict restrictions are placed on the market and use of PFOS and related substances, but small amounts are allowed to be used when they do not create unacceptable risks. Limit values: • 0.005% (50ppm) in preparations; • 0.1% (1000ppm) in semi-finished products; • 1μg/m2 in textiles or coatings.
