Kooperationsstelle Hamburg Substitution of Hazardous Chemicals in Products and Processes Conference on Substitution Hamburg, June 2002 Introduction by: J. Lohse, Ökopol Working Group 3 Printed Circuit Boards

Kooperationsstelle Hamburg Substitution of Hazardous Chemicals in Products and Processes Some Characteristics of Printed Circuit Boards: Integral part of all electronic devices (IT, consumer goods, automotive etc.). High-volume market, significant growth rates. The dominating material is FR4 (glass-fibre reinforced epoxide). UL-94 norm commonly applied defines classes V0, V1 related to resistance to flammability. Substances most commonly applied to achieve flame resistance are brominated organic chemicals.

Kooperationsstelle Hamburg Substitution of Hazardous Chemicals in Products and Processes Concerns about brominated flame retardants (BFR) Toxic and suspected CMR properties of many BFR substances Low biodegradability and/or formation of toxic metabolites Diffuse losses from products in use Ubiquitous occurrence in urban environment and remote areas Found in human blood (exposed workers) Found in human breast-milk (general population) PXDD/F formation upon accidental fire PXDD/F formation upon thermal stress during recycling

Kooperationsstelle Hamburg Substitution of Hazardous Chemicals in Products and Processes Initiatives at the political level Voluntary phase-out of some BFR by German chemical industry (after their behaviour as dioxin precursors was discovered) Draft ROHS Directive requires substitution of PBB / PBDE EU Risk Assessment on TBBA (ongoing) Draft WEEE Directive requires dismantling of BFR-components Legislative initiatives (e.g. in Germany and Denmark) Eco-labelling criteria (EU flower, national & private labels) restrict the use of some or even all BFR. Pressure from environmental NGOs.

Kooperationsstelle Hamburg Substitution of Hazardous Chemicals in Products and Processes Initiatives at enterprise level (individual companies) Circuit board manufacturer: disposal problem for production waste initiated search for substitutes E&E manufacturer: early internal ban of PBB and PBDE - working towards total BFR phase-out to fulfill eco-label criteria Car manufacturer: early internal ban of PBB and PBDE - working towards halogen-free materials in general where possible Base-material supplier: offers halogen-free FR4 material and seeks first mover advantage Market pressure from several Asian manufacturers [parallel efforts in Asia and US to phase out Pb solder]

Kooperationsstelle Hamburg Substitution of Hazardous Chemicals in Products and Processes Substitution strategies Use of TBBA instead of PBB / PBDE polymerized TBBA (reduces some but does not avoid all risks) Phosphorus-based FR (shielding effect by solid-base reaction) Mineral-based FR (ATH and similar - dilution & cooling effect) Change of base material (e.g. foams, polysiloxane etc.) Geometric separation of high and low voltage components Reduce operating voltage. Substance --> material --> product level

Kooperationsstelle Hamburg Substitution of Hazardous Chemicals in Products and Processes Use of P-based FR instead of TBBA - arguments and questions: Economics Additional cost of material ?! Investments in process necessary ? Dependance on single supplier ?! Technical functionality Functional equivalence of substitute ? (safety standards, market requirements) Communication / awareness Necessity to involve all actors in the chain ! Ecotox-profile as strong driver at company level ?? Risk Assessment Sufficient knowledge about ecotox-profile of substitutes ? Regulative frame Upcoming legislation ! Existing standards in favour of traditional solutions ?! Timing of innovation depends on parallel developments (e.g. Pb-free) !

Kooperationsstelle Hamburg Substitution of Hazardous Chemicals in Products and Processes Questions to the Working Group:  Is it a case for substitution - YES or NO ?  If YES: what is needed to promote substitution ? (present barriers, supportive actions, legal or market instruments etc.)  If controversial: what would be the right procedure to decide ? (criteria; stakeholders to be involved;...)  [if all say NO: why then are BFR high on the political agenda ?]
