$81.6 million in fines for the mishandling of products sold
in its stores that became damaged or were returned—thus
becoming hazardous waste
• $60 million to resolve Clean Water Act violations in California, including the
illegal dumping of corrosive and hazardous liquid wastes into drains
• $14 million to resolve violations to the federal Insecticide, fungicide, and
rodenticide Act (FIFRA) in Missouri
• $7.6 million civil penalty and agreement to implement a comprehensive,
nationwide environmental compliance program to manage hazardous waste

© 2020 DXC Technology Company. All rights reserved. May 26, 2021 19Chemicals of concern in various products
• Bromine: Used in Brominated Flame Retardants (BFRs)
o BFRs are added to plastics for fire resistance. Heat and UV-ray exposure in cars
can accelerate the breakdown of these chemicals and possibly increase their
toxicity.
o Some BFRs have been associated with thyroid problems, learning and memory
impairment, decreased fertility, behavioral changes, and other health problems.
• Chlorine: Used in Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
o PVC contains chemicals called phthalates, some of which have been associated
with decreased fertility, pre-term deliveries, and damage to the liver, testes,
thyroid, ovaries, kidneys, and blood.
o There is also evidence that phthalates can pass from mothers to babies through
the placenta and through breast milk.
• Lead and lead compounds:
o Lead is still widely used for car batteries, paint, pigments, ammunition, cable
sheathing, weights for lifting, weight belts for diving, lead crystal glass, radiation
protection, and in solders for electronics. It is also often used to store corrosive
liquids.
o Exposure can lead to potentially many health effects, including brain damage, and
problems with the kidneys, blood, nerves, and reproductive system. It can also
cause learning and behavioral problems.
Did you know? Automobiles have parts containing bromine, chlorine, and other heavy metals.

• A group of man-made chemicals, first
introduced in 1920s, commonly known as
“plasticizers”. Used to soften plastics and
make them more flexible and durable.
CANNED FOOD LINERS PLASTIC CONTAINERS EPOXY ADHESIVES CASH REGISTER RECEIPTS
o Diethyl Phthalate (DEP)
o Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP)
• Health risks:

Directive of the European Union - aims to ensure that End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) are
managed sustainably to eliminate hazardous substances in cars. Rules require that most ELV
parts and materials are reused or recycled.
ELV pushes producers to manufacture new vehicles without hazardous substances
particularly lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium, thus promoting the reuse,
ELV recyclability, and recovery of waste vehicles.
Directive of the European Union – Restrictions of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) aims to
reduce the amount of toxic waste produced by electronics post their use; therefore, it is
closely linked with Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE).
Restricts the use of six hazardous materials in manufacturing various types of electronic and
electrical equipment: Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, and Hexavalent Chromium, Polybrominated
Biphenyl (PBB), and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE) flame retardants.
RoHS Worldwide includes: US California RoHS, China RoHS, Japan RoHS, Korea RoHS,
UAE RoHS, India RoHS, Turkey RoHS, Norway RoHS, Singapore RoHS, Brazil RoHS, and
Eurasian/Russian RoHS

Registration, Evaluation, Authorization of Chemicals (REACh) Regulation of the European
Union - Adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the
risks that can be posed by chemicals.
REACH applies to all chemical substances, not only those used in industrial processes, but
also those in our day-to-day lives, for example, cleaning products, paints, clothes, furniture,
and electrical appliances. Up to 20 Jan 2021, there are 211 substances on the SVHC
candidate list.
Directive of the European Union – Waste Framework Directive (WFD) sets measures to
address adverse impacts of the generation and management of waste on the environment
and human health, and for improving efficient use of resources, which are crucial for the
transition to a circular economy.
Companies that produce, import, or supply articles containing Candidate List substances
have to submit information on these articles placed on EU market into a database, called
SCIP database, as of January 5, 2021.
© 2020 DXC Technology Company. All rights reserved. May 26, 2021 28Reusability, Recyclability, and Recoverability
The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA or TOSCA0) - a U.S. law, passed by the
Democratic United States Congress in 1976 and administered by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), that regulates the introduction of new or already
existing chemicals.
Reusability, Recyclability, and Recoverability (RRR) Compliance - a Directive 2005/64/EC
of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2005 on the type-approval of
motor vehicles with regards to their reusability, recyclability and recoverability and
amending Council Directive 70/156/EEC.
RRR
Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SRR) - European Parliament and the Council of
the European Union adopted SRR in 2013 with an aim to reduce the negative impacts linked
to the recycling of ships flying the flag of EU Member States. All EU-flagged vessels to be
recycled after December 31, 2018 were required to have a Ready for Recycling Certificate.
For vessels in operation and flying the flag of an EU member state, the certified IHM is
EU SRR required starting December 31, 2020.
© 2020 DXC Technology Company. All rights reserved. May 26, 2021 29Regulations, Directives, and Corporate Responsibility
Proposition 65 requires businesses in California to provide warning and publish a list
of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. This
requirement applies, regardless of whether a business is located in California or out-
of-state, as long as its products cause exposures to individuals in California.
Conflict minerals: A regulation and global standard for ethical sourcing of a few
minerals and conflict minerals refers to raw materials that come from a particular part
of the world where conflict is occurring and affects the mining and trading of those
materials. In the U.S. in 2010, the Dodd-Frank Consumer Protection Act became a
law. Section 1502 of that act addresses the international trade and use of conflict
minerals.
Corporate responsibility (CR) is about the impact an organization makes on society,
the environment, and the economy. Having an effective CR program contributes
positively to all stakeholders, adds value for the organization itself, and ensures it
operates in a sustainable way.
