| Résumé : |
The issue of environmental protection has grown in importance over the last 30 years. Stricter controls and standards have been set, which have added a new dimension to business. Resources have been directed towards pollution control and prevention rather than just clean-up, effecting not only management, but also product development and promotion. Environmental costs have increasingly grained recognition and businesses like coatings, ink and adhesives have begun to realise that good environmental performance can contribute to maintaining a competitive edge in the market place. The competent authorities around the world have grasped this concept and all agree tostate that a clean environment is not only a precondition for sustainable development, but it is also essential to achieve prosperity and success in the world market. Economic growth and environmental protection are not incompatible but rather components of the same goal : A safe and secure future.
This paper adresses some of the key environmental issues for RadCure products and other coatings which are currently being addressed by the European EPA (Enforcement of the 7th Amendment of Council Directive 67/548/EEC, Existing Chemicals Program, Risk Assesment Directive, OECD Polymer Definition and current regularotory developments, e.g further extension of EC Directive 90/128 governing food contact applications, environmental labelling). Some issues which need to be looked at from a global prospective will also be reviewed. |
