Certain NICNAS Exemption Provisions Available Until August 31, 2022: Australia announced on December 17, 2020, that under the transitional arrangements, some exemption provisions that existed under the previous law, the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Act 1989, will be available to introducers until
August 31, 2022.

HELSINKI The European Chemicals Agency is finalizing the draft of a landmark restriction proposal to ban products which have intentionally added microplastics from being placed on the market in the European Union and the European Economic Area.
The proposal will be submitted to the European Commission in the coming months and largely based on the opinions of two ECHA committees the Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) and the Committee for Socio-economic Analysis (SEAC).
Among the materials targeted by the proposal are granular infill materials from end-of-life tires and other synthetic elastomers, which have been classified as intentionally-added microplastics.
The
European Chemicals Agency’s Committee for Socio-economic Analysis (SEAC) has adopted its opinion on a landmark restriction proposal, which would ban microplastics in products such as cosmetics, detergents, fertilisers and could lead to a ban of its use as soft infill on artificial turf sports pitches. It would prevent the release of 500 000 tonnes of microplastics into the environment over 20 years.
Bjorn Hansen, ECHA’s Executive Director says: “We need to protect our environment from microplastic pollution, and this restriction proposal is the most comprehensive of its kind in the world. We have now concluded our scientific and technical assessment and given our recommendations on how to best address the risks. This will contribute to decision making in the European Commission and the aims of the EU’s Plastics Strategy.”
