New Chemical Policies

3. Why do we need to manage
chemicals?

4. RA 6969 (Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Waste Control Act)
Management of industrial chemicals and hazardous wastes in all aspects of its life cycle, “cradle to grave”- importation, distribution, use, manufacture of chemical substances and generation, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal of Hazardous Waste.

5. DENR and Policy on RA 6969
It is the DENR policy to regulate, restrict or prohibit the importation, manufacture, processing, sale, distribution, use and disposal of chemical substances and mixtures that present unreasonable risk and/or injury to health, safety, security and the environment.

6. Why do we regulate chemicals?
The Philippines regulate chemicals in 3-5 umbrellas
to protect health, safety, security and environment
Agriculture
Food & Medicine
Industries
Households

10. REVUSED PRIORITY CHEMICAL LIST
DEPARTMENT ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER
REVUSED PRIORITY CHEMICAL LIST
PRIORITY CHEMICAL LIST -
List of existing chemicals that DENR has determined to potentially pose unreasonable risk to public health, workplace and the environment.
There are 48 chemicals listed on the PCL (including compounds).
PCL

11. DAO
Authorizes the DENR to prescribe additional requirements and establish procedural requirements for issuance of a PCL Compliance Certificate.
SQI

12. Who are covered by the PCL process?
Importer-distributor - a single proprietorship, partnership or corporation that engages in importation and distribution of PCL chemicals.
Importer-User-Manufacturer - a single proprietorship, partnership or corporation that engages in the importation and production using PCL chemicals as raw materials for transformation into new products and other usages.
User-Manufacturer - a single proprietorship, partnership or corporation that engages in production using PCL chemicals as raw materials for transformation into new products and usages.

13. REVISED PCL DAO
The Revised Priority Chemical List (PCL) under DENR Administrative Order (DAO) No added twenty (20) specific new chemicals to the twenty eight (28) PCL chemicals (initially selected under DAO No ) based on primary criteria (persistence, bio accumulation and toxicity) and secondary criteria (quantity of importation and use) .
With very limited information and tracking of the chemicals in the revised PCL, DAO No (Prescribing Additional Requirements for the Issuance of the PCL Compliance Certificate) was issued for more effective management of regulated chemicals

37. Generator has the responsibility to dispose properly in an environmentally sound way or they are liable in case of spill or illegal disposal
HAZARDOUS WASTES

38. CHARACTERISTICS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
◄ TOXICITY
◄ REACTIVITY
◄ IGNATABILITY
◄ CORROSIVITY
Wastes are considered hazardous if they exhibit any of the four characteristics namely TRIC
Toxic
-when inhaled or ingested or if it penetrates the skin, may involve acute or chronic health risks including carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or teratogenicity on human or other life forms
*TCLP (toxicity characteristic leaching procedure), is a procedure used to simulate the leaching which a waste will undergo if disposed of in a sanitary landfill
Reactive
-are unstable under normal conditions, react violently with water and create spontaneously explosive mixtures like toxic gases, vapors or fumes and are capable of detonating
Ignitable
-can create fire under certain conditions
Corrosive
-whether liquid or solid that causes visible destruction or irreversible alterations in human skin tissue at the site of contact, or a liquid that has a severe corrosion rate on steel or aluminum

39. WASTE MANAGEMENT HIERARCHY
SOURCE REDUCTION & SEGREGATION
ON-SITE RECYCLING
OFF-SITE RECYCLING
Principle on Waste Management
From the waste source, we encourage waste minimization and waste segregation.
Lesser wastes to be disposed.
TREATMENT
Waste Minimization/
Green Productivity/
Cleaner Production
DISPOSAL
Life Cycle Assessment

40. Wastes Management Regulate generation, collection, transport,
storage, treatment, recycling and disposal
of wastes
Distinct regulatory measures for hazardous
and non hazardous wastes; municipal and
industrial wastes
Regulate the persons and installations
involved, and phases of related activities
