Presented by American Chemistry Council
Recorded on June 14, 2022
In May of 2019, the American Chemistry Council’s High Phthalates Panel (ACC HPP), representing major producers, importers, and users of diisononyl phthalate (DINP), diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP), and other high molecular weight phthalates, submitted the first manufacturer-requested risk evaluations (MRREs) to EPA under the 2016 amendments to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). ACC submitted a request for a risk evaluation of DINP and a request for a risk evaluation of DIDP. These requests are an important tool that can expedite transparent, fair, and evidence-based risk evaluations of DINP and DIDP as they each are currently used in commercial and consumer products in the United States. ACC’s HPP believes that a broad-based risk evaluation of DINP and DIDP is in the interest of consumer confidence in this country, and that the science demonstrates these high molecular weight phthalates are safe as currently used.
Join us for a one-hour webinar to explore the potential impact of these TSCA risk evaluations.
- Learn why the manufacturers of DINP and DIDP have taken the lead on requesting that EPA evaluate these chemicals under TSCA;
- Explore the current status of the MRREs and the conditions of use under EPA review;
- Discuss the potential impact of the MRREs on key product sectors; and
- Examine what the future holds as EPA continues to review these chemistries and approaches your company may consider to navigate future rulemakings.
