Tiivistelmä: | Substitution of hazardous substances by less-hazardous alternatives plays a prominent role as a risk reduction strategy in existing legislation and in the ongoing debate about a future chemicals policy in the EU. Stakeholder perceptions concerning the meaning of substitution, however, differ widely. Some consider it a fundamental principle, others see it as just another tool for managing risks. Also, interests may vary with the position of a company in the supply chain. Whereas retailers of consumer products depend heavily on upstream elimination of hazardous substances, producers of hazardous substances may be more interested in defending their markets. |
