Europe - Development of BPA Restriction in the EU

Bisphenol A is restricted in the European Union (EU) for use in thermal paper and toys and is listed as a substance of very high concern (SVHC) due to its endocrine disrupting properties for humans and the environment.
A first restriction proposal was submitted by Germany to avoid possible adverse effects. A second call for comments is currently underway, aiming to extend the initial restrictions in articles.
