The discussion of the assessment and management of chemicals and products at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro led for example to the creation of the OECD programme Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). The World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg 2002 encouraged countries to implement the GHS, adopted by UN ECOSOC in July 2003, as soon as possible, with a view of having the system operating by 2008.
The global trade of chemicals and products containing chemical additives such as paint, cosmetics, household cleaners, paper and cardboard, plastic toys, textiles, electronic appliances, petrol, lubricants etc. has resulted in a substantial release of harmful substances to the environment with risk to man and nature on a worldwide scale. The new threat is coming from closing the loop in a global scale. Plastic, paper and cardboard, lubricants and other products undergo a recycling process and make their ways into a recovered material with unpredictable and not foreseen health and safety problems.
