The specific substances referred to in the European Commission document are the primary aromatic amines, phenol, bisphenol A, bisphenol S, phthalates, fluorinated compounds, metals, formaldehyde, melamine and the global migration parameter. The last three parameters are directly related to articles made with bamboo fiber. This concern on the part of the authorities is fully founded since in the last months a significant increase of market withdrawals of this type of articles has been detected due to excessive formaldehyde migration. Keep in mind that, although the majority material is pulverized bamboo (50-60%), 20% of its composition are plastic resins (eg melamine-formaldehyde), which makes the qualifiers “sustainable” and “natural” not be entirely adequate.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1228″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]It is expected that the information obtained from this plan will be used to determine the possible need to adopt future measures to protect the health of the consumers.
