| Introductory Information The main concern about phosphates is “eutrophication”: because phosphates are a key nutrient for plants, too much phosphate in water can lead to excessive growth of plants and algae. Eutrophication is a leading cause of impairment of many freshwater and coastal marine ecosystems in the world ; where phosphates are used in modern detergents and the proportion of phosphate in sewage coming from detergent will be below 30% |
| Alternatives A complete detergent product removes soil, controls water hardness and prevents soil and water hardness salts from depositing onto the cleaned articles and washing equipment parts ; Detergent is to be non-toxic ; environmentally friendly Compare your choices to determine which product is the best |
| Challenges Removing phosphate from detergents leads to performance challenges ; Enzyme stability is a challenge in phosphate-free formulations Consumers have increased awareness of the environmental issues around phosphates, but their expectations regarding cleaning performance remain high |
| Companies in the Field To comply with safety of environment & Humans, many companies have come with alternate products which are phosphate free ; Material safety data sheets indicate compositions |
| Regulations Developed World have brought in regulations to restrict the detergents which are not environmentally free The Detergent Regulation was published on the 8 April 2004 and enters into force in 8 Octobe 2005 . Rules are to regulate the criteria and test methods for the biodegradability of surfactants, content of the Technical Dossier of surfactant, the additional requirements of labelling of the detergent, content of the List of detergent composition, as well as data from that list which should be made available to public. |
