As before, this report details, for each foam type, the technically viable options available to eliminate the use of ODSs as of 2006. It concentrates primarily on the transition status by product group and region and on likely future scenarios. In this edition, the management of banks and emissions is promoted from an Appendix to a chapter in the core report, reflecting the subject's increasing importance to legislators. Coverage of technical options per se continues to be located for information purposes within the appendices only.
