"I disagree with the objector's concerns and support these authorisations on grounds of increasing the predictability and transparency of the REACH authorisation procedure and promoting the circular economy. Under this procedure, a substance of very high concern cannot be used after a specified date unless authorised; the sunset date for DEHP was 21 February 2015. The authorisations now under consideration would only allow the continued use of recycled PVC to which DEHP was added when first manufactured. It wouldn't permit DEHP to be added to recyclate materials.
There is agreement that DEHP is an endocrine disruptor, but contrary to the objector's assertions, there is also no scientific consensus that a threshold for safe use cannot be identified and applied for endocrine disruptors.
Most importantly, the ECHA’s assessment committees considered that there would be minimal risk to consumers from articles made of recycled PVC, and the implementing act includes monitoring conditions to improve worker protection.
The objection should account for the wider implications of not granting authorisation, which includes the circular economy aims, and the prospect of increased environmental damage. Environmental damage costs of manufacturing virgin PVC have been calculated as EUR 394 a tonne, and EUR 14 a tonne for recycling PVC waste."@en1
