Control of chemical substances in recycled materials is ECHA’s biggest challenge

  • 2017-11-16

The EU is currently actively promoting circular economy initiatives. While promoting circular economy, it also proposes future plans for regulatory adjustment. Bjorn Hansen, Director of the European Chemical Agency (ECHA), made an important point in his inauguration speech. In addition to promoting the circular economy, countries around the world will inevitably face the reuse of recycled materials, and the application of these recycled materials may be very diverse. Extensive, even atypical. Therefore, as the European Union's chemical substance control agency, ECHA should have equally stringent requirements for chemical substances in recycled materials, or it should lower the requirements and provide more exclusionary scenarios to help increase recycling rates and accelerate the popularization of circular economy. Transitioning to a circular economy usually advocates the recycling of materials that still have value and can be recycled. However, how to find a balance between the control of hazardous substances and improving the recycling rate of materials is ECHA's top priority. The current regulations and measures taken by the European Union to promote the circular economy have much stricter standards for new materials than recycled materials. For example, under the REACH regulations, new PVC materials are not allowed to contain cadmium, but the exclusion items in the REACH regulations allow that in certain applications, recycled PVC materials can contain cadmium. Will EU consumers be happy to see harmful substances continue to exist in consumer products despite a sustainable cycle? These concerns have been raised by more than just ECHA. Also raised in the EU Parliament’s consultation meeting on the adjustment of chemical substances, products and waste regulations.Currently, it is recommended to discuss the application of recycled materials using a case-by-case risk assessment approach.
