Background data for Annex XV dossier - DEHP, BBP, DBP and DIBP

As a part of getting information for the Danish proposal on restricting the four classified phthalates DEHP, DBP, BBP and DIBP information on uses, available alternatives, substitution trends and costs of substitution for a number of article groups.
The information collected shows that classified phthalates are still in use for selected article groups, but also that alternatives are available for all groups including other phthalates, non-phthalate plasticizers and other materials than plasticised PVC, and that these alternatives are used to a certain extend.

Abstract in Danish
Som baggrund til det danske restriktionsforslag af fire klassificerede ftalater(DEHP, DBP, BBP og DIBP) er der for en række produktgrupper indsamlet information om brugen, tilgængelige alternativer, anvendelsen og omkostninger af alternativer.
Informationerne viser, at de fire klassificerede ftalater stadig anvendes i en række artikler, men at alternativer findes til alle anvendelser, herunder brugen af andre ftalater, andre blødgørere end ftalater eller andre materialer end blødgjort PVC, og at disse alternativer allerede anvendes i en vis udstrækning
