Voluntary Emissions Control Action Program

In an effort to reduce or eliminate emissions of HBCD to the environment, the Voluntary Emissions Control Action Program (VECAP ) was introduced in Japan. 

To address emissions of flame-retardants, a Voluntary Emissions Control Action Program (VECAP ) was initiated by the Bromine Science and Environmental Forum (BSEF).112 The VECAP Pilot program was initiated in the U.K. textiles industries in 2004 to reduced emissions of deca-BDE in line with the Code of Good Practice. After 1 year of implementation, the U.K. Pilot Program achieved a 75% reduction in emissions to water.113 The second year, a total of 90% reduction in emissions was then realized.
