Chemicals Management and Plastics An overview of OECD resources
OECD, CHEMICALS MANAGEMENT AND PLASTICS For 50 years, the OECD has been dedicated to protecting health and the environment by promoting chemical safety worldwide. Modern life without chemicals would be inconceivable; chemicals are part of our daily life. The polymers and other substances that make up plastics are all chemicals. Therefore, the tools and approaches that have been developed for chemical assessment and management can be used in the context of plastics ‘ingredients’. This brochure presents examples of OECD work on chemicals relevant to plastics.
