European Commission concludes DINP and DIDP safe for use
The European Commission (EC) has re-evaluated the restrictions on plasticizers DINP (diisononyl phthalate) and DIDP (diisodecyl phthalate) and concluded that the use of these high molecular weight phthalates is safe in all current consumer applications.
- How much is the European plasticiser industry worth?
- The European plasticiser industry’s market value is €2.12 billion. The EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan is one of the main building blocks of the EU Green Deal. This new action plan targets how products are designed, promoting circular economy processes, sustainab...
- What percentage of the European DINP production capacity was produced in 2011?
- This covers 90% of the European DINP production capacity (EU-27) in 2011. The data for the upstream supply chain until the precursors are modelled from literature sources or are taken from the database of the software sys-tem GaBi 6 [GABI 6 2013]. One company additionally delivered primary data for the production of the pre-cursor isononanol.
- Which data sources were used in the data collection of DINP?
- The main data source was a primary data collection from European producers of DINP, providing site-specific gate-to-gate production data for processes under operational control of the participating com-panies: three DINP producers with three plants in two different European countries.
- What is a plasticiser trade association?
- Our trade association represents chemical companies that manufacture approximately 90% of the plasticisers in Europe. We serve as the forum of the European plasticisers industry and operate as a sector group under of Cefic.
- What are PlasticsEurope eco-profiles & EPDs?
- PlasticsEurope Eco-profiles and EPDs are prepared in accordance with the stringent ISO 14040–44 requirements. Since the system boundary is »cradle-to-gate«, however, their respective reference flows are disparate, namely referring to a broad variety of polymers and precursors.
- What is a plasticiser?
- They are colourless and odourless liquids which cannot be treated as additives like pigments or fillers. Find any plasticiser on the right and learn more about their classification, properties and where they are used.
