SUMMARY
In external plasticization, plasticizers are blended into base polymers without forming chemical bond, such that subsequent exudation from the polymer matrices can occu. Previous studies have shown that various consumer plastic products (mostly PVC) contain PAEs as primary plasticizers. Such end-of-life (EOL) plasticized PVC inputs are converted into ‘new` PVC products, possibly with little or no additional plasticizers neede, resulting in resource and cost savings, but potentially also a multitude of ‘new` affected products. Increasing international restrictions on several groups of plasticizers should, instead, discourage producers from marketing soft PVC products that . . .
