With all of the news circulating of bisphenol A (BPA) legislation in the United States, it’s not surprising that other countries around the globe have taken a stance against the toxic chemical as well.  International pressure to eliminate BPA has intensified after our neighbor across the Pacific Ocean unveiled a deal with major retailers to begin the immediate phasing out of baby bottles containing BPA.  That the chemical is used as a plasticiser in polycarbonate bottles was the primary reason behind the Australian Government brokering the deal with a string of leading retailers, including Coles, K Mart, and Target.  The move coincides with the start of Denmark’s ban on the chemical in food contact materials aimed at children aged three and under. Last week, the French senate confirmed it would be introducing a similar ban as well.  The phase out in Australia begins today, July 1st.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues to carry out further research on the effects of BPA.  With convincing evidence already linking BPA with health problems in children, it is imperative that we stop exposing our loved ones to the dangerous toxin.  Please visit www.newwaveenviro.com to learn more about New Wave Enviro’s line of ECO-nomical, BPA-free drinking water bottles.
