Phthalates Policy & Declaration of Compliance
1. Purpose
Logitech is committed to safeguarding human health and the environment by ensuring the responsible management of phthalates in the materials used in our products. Phthalates are often used as plasticizers to make plastics more flexible or resilient, and can also be found in some adhesives. However, certain phthalates have been found to migrate out of plastic over time and can be associated with potential adverse health effects, particularly on reproduction. These phthalates are regulated as toxic substances in various jurisdictions, including the European
Union and the United States (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency).
This policy outlines our approach to phthalate management, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and industry best practices.
2. Scope
This policy applies to all Logitech products, including those produced by our direct suppliers and partners globally. It specifically addresses the restriction of phthalates in materials used in Logitech products, in line with legal and regulatory requirements.
3. Declaration of Compliance
In compliance with relevant legislation such as the European REACH Directive and California Proposition 65, Logitech restricts the use of the following ten phthalates to a maximum concentration of 1000 ppm at the homogeneous level in materials used in our products.
