摘要

The Institute for Scrap Recycling Industries is raising concerns that new regulations being considered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency could severely hobble the recycling of plastics from electronic scrap. A proposed rule under the Toxic Substance Control Act would place new regulatory requirements on companies that manufacture, import or process items containing polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), a chemical that is used as a flame retardant, common in older computer cases and household electronics, as well as in textiles, wire insulation and automobiles.The EPA is concerned that PBDEs are leaching out of products into the environment, creating a hazard for humans and animals.Under the proposed regulation, companies intending to import, manufacture or process products containing PBDEs would be required to notify the EPA at least 90 days in advance to ensure that the agency has had the opportunity to review and, if deemed necessary, restrict or prohibit the proposed use of materials containing the chemical. Companies affected by the regulation would also be required to conduct testing on the health and environmental effects of their activities involving the chemical and submit data from the results to the EPA.
