Polyolefins Base Chemicals Fertilizers Company Home Company Chemicals Safety Banned and Restricted Substances As a manufacturer committed to the Responsible Care Global Charter, Borealis is banning or restricting the use of certain substances in its production processes and products that are dangerous for human health or the environment. Borealis has also applied a precautionary approach to certain substances due to the potential health or environmental risks they may present and that are still being assessed by regulatory authorities. Borealis was one of the first chemical companies to publish a ‘Black and Grey list’ of these substances which is publically accessible on its website and includes substances or groups of substances such as potential endocrine disruptors, phthalates and brominated flame retardants. The Black list contains all banned substances; the Grey list includes hazardous chemical substances which are still in use but in the process of being phased out and replaced by alternatives. The list is regularly reviewed in the light of the more recent risk assessments or re-classification of chemicals and specifically in connection with ECHA candidate list updates.
