How does Borealis ensure that its products are safe?
Plastic materials and additives used for applications like food packaging, drinking water or medical care are strictly regulated by health authorities. As part of our chemicals control process, all substances used at Borealis are documented and tested. We further strictly prohibit the use of a range of substances that pose specific regulatory or scientific concerns. For transparent communication with its customers and other stakeholders, Borealis publishes a “Black and Grey list” of banned or restricted substances and regularly updates it in light of the conclusions of risk assessments and classifications of chemicals. It includes, for instance, all known endocrine disrupters, phthalates, PAHs, heavy metal additives or brominated flame retardants. For further information consult Borealis’ product stewardship pages.
