EEB, ClientEarth and Rethink plastic comments to the public consultation on the Annex XV Report for Bisphenols
Policy makers have pledged to get rid of some of the most harmful substances in non-essential uses – and bisphenols are part of them. EEB, ClientEarth and Rethink Plastic therefore highly welcome the German proposal to restrict this group of chemicals, many of which have been confirmed as endocrine disruptors to the environment and human health. The importance of restricting the group as a whole is all the more relevant as evidence of regrettable substitution of BPa with other bisphenols of concern is piling up.
In this document, we give our recommendations to tackle bisphenols effectively.
