The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has published a report on the results of research into the estimation of abatement costs for six substances of concern. ECHA's experience from processing restriction cases demonstrated that vigorous substitution cost estimates have the potential to aid decision-making when regulating hazardous chemicals.
The objective behind the report was to provide lessons to Member States and companies in support of their own work on assessing substitution costs. The aim was to improve capability in the assessment of substitution costs, to develop some of the theoretical and methodological aspects specific to hazardous chemicals and to understand what barriers there might be to useful estimation.
