Solutions to Hazardous Plasticizers - Clean Production Action
Two bio-based products that appear to be the least toxic of all the plasticizers it evaluated (Grindsted Soft-n-Safe and Polysorb ID 37) – GS Benchmark (BM) undetermined due to data gaps (HBN) DEHT – GS BM 3 (with data gaps) (GC3 & HBN) Vegetable oil based blends that vary from GS BM 2 to GS BM 3 (GC3 & HBN) DINCH – GS BM 2 (GC3 & HBN)

Background European chemicals management aims to protect human health and the environment from legacy and emerging contaminants. The plasticizer market changed in response to the restriction of low molecular weight (LMW) phthalate plasticizers such as Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) due to their hazardous properties. We investigated patterns and trends of 19 regulated and emerging

ChemFORWARD Launches First Portfolio, Offering Comprehensive
ChemFORWARD is pleased to announce that its first portfolio of data on alternatives to ortho-phthalate, which are often referred to simply as phthalate, plasticizers of concern has been posted and is available for subscription. The organization’s initial pilot project compiled hazard assessments for 10 safer plasticizers.
Overview of known plastic packaging-associated chemicals and
The identified hazardous chemicals are used in plastics as , stabilizers, biocides, flame retardants, accelerators, and colorants, among other functions. Our work was challenged by a lack of transparency and incompleteness of publicly available information on both the use and toxicity of numerous substances.
- Why is plastic waste a problem in Indonesia?
- Individuals and industries use too much unnecessary plastic in packaging. Many types of plastic waste have low or no after-use value compared to other recyclable materials like aluminum cans. The plastic waste problem in Indonesia is multifaceted and affects the well-being and economy of the country.
- How can CSIRO and Indonesia reduce plastic waste?
- The Indonesian government aims to reduce marine plastic debris by up to 70 per cent by 2025. And CSIRO, as part of its mission to end plastic waste, has a goal to see an 80 per cent reduction in plastic waste entering the environment by 2030. This bilateral initiative aims to support both countries in achieving these goals.
- What percentage of plastic pollution comes from Indonesia?
- Although plastic waste imports to Indonesia grew significantly in 2018, more than 95 percent of plastic pollution comes from Indonesia itself. Indonesia alone can generate an average of 6.8 million tons of plastic waste annually, a number that is increasing by 5 percent every year.
- How many plastic bags are used in Indonesia?
- According to Indonesian Environment and Forestry Minister Siti Nurbaya, about 9.8 billion plastic bags are used in Indonesia annually, and 95 percent of these end up as waste. Furthermore, the ministry’s waste management directorate estimates that Indonesians use 93 million plastic straws everyday.
- What will happen if plastic waste floats in Indonesian seas?
- With plastic waste floating in Indonesian seas, the quality and quantity of fish and other marine animals will continue to decrease. If mismanaged waste continues to leak into waterways and seas, Indonesia’s fishery industry, which is one of its biggest commodities, will collapse.
- How many plastic straws do Indonesians use a day?
- Furthermore, the ministry’s waste management directorate estimates that Indonesians use 93 million plastic straws everyday. The most recyclable plastic product, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, has higher value for recycling companies and causes less pollution.
