Final report
Metadate publicare
This report proposes criteria for the identification of polymers requiring registration (PRR) under REACH. It sets out possible registration requirements and assesses costs and benefits of registering PRRs. The evidence base was built up through a review of the literature; an online survey; in-depth interviews including with an Advisory Group; a workshop; and additional ad-hoc contributions from numerous stakeholders. Comprehensive information on the hazardous properties of polymers was generally not readily available. However, polymer types for which a requirement for registration is likely to have most merit have been identified. The report also sets out proposals for adapting the REACH registration information requirements to be more suitable for polymers. These proposals deal with polymeric substances in a way which is consistent with the non-polymeric substances, but which is proportionate to their relative hazards and risks. Data gaps make it difficult to draw direct, statistically robust comparisons between the costs and benefits of registering PRRs. Quantified estimates of health and environmental benefits through registration of PRRs amount to around €30 billion over 40 years (range €14 to €52 billion), while costs are estimated at €2.5 billion (range €0.8 to €5.2 billion), though several important costs and benefits could not be quantified.
