Abstract
AbstractThis discussion of the past regulatory trends and current developments for the vinyl industry will provide an overview of the regulatory world that producers and fabricators of poly(vinyl‐chloride) face today, with some projections of what the future may hold. By considering past regulatory trends and current developments, projecting future developments can be more than mere speculation. Because environmental issues are very complex and challenging, the overview begins and concentrates there. The focus will also discuss OSHA regulations, pending actions of EPA, California's Proposition 65, and Consumer Product Safety Commission's regulation of phthalates. The overview will conclude with an analysis of projected specific regulatory actions including: reducing VCC emissions, additional restrictions on land disposal, demands that vinyl products demonstrate that they fit the general solution to the solid waste crisis, and coping with state and local regulations that pose conflicting or unreasonable requirements.
