USA - US Toxics in Packaging Clearinghouse (TPCH) Amends Model Legislation to Include Restrictions for Phthalates and PFAS

In February 2021, TPCH updated their model legislation to include a restriction for the sum of all ortho-phthalates to no more than 100 ppm. The update also includes a restriction for all PFAS chemicals, defined as the class of fluorinated organic chemicals containing at least one fully fluorinated carbon atom, to no detectable amount.

Finally, the update adds a mechanism identifying chemicals that are of high concern in the future and restricting them after two years from the date that they are identified.
