Code of practice for the environmentally sound management of chemical substances in the chemicals, plastics and rubber sectors.: En14-545/2024E-PDF
"Within the chemicals, plastics and rubber manufacturing/distribution industries, releases of chemical substances to the environment can originate from a variety of sources and activities within a facility. Sources and activities can include industrial effluents from the rinsing of tanks, air emissions from the granulation of solid raw materials, contaminated clothing that came into contact with chemical substances during the cleaning of equipment, or spills. These releases may be prevented or mitigated through the adoption of best practices related to the management and handling of chemical substances. The objective of this Code of Practice (Code) is to identify and promote best practices in the management and handling of chemical substances in the manufacturing and distribution of chemicals, plastics, and rubber products to prevent releases of these substances into the environment. In addition, the Code can be used to complement risk management instruments targeting specific chemical substances used in the chemicals, plastics and rubber sectors. …"--Introduction and objective, page 1.
