Ingle, Monsanto deopaoy, delivered the report Which follows: Since ay report to the May Board meeting covering our March 3 meeting at Washington, D.C., this ccmidttee has not held a foiaai meeting. The delayed annual meeting la now scheduled for August 23 at the Hotel Commodore, Hew York. This delay does not assn inactivity; rather, It reflects a high level of day-to-day activity, such ae the following, which Is not always directly related to food packaging Materials. l. Disposal of Masts Plastic Battles The Bottle Division has encountered criticism from tbs glass bottle industry suggesting that the disposal of plastic bottles aggravates tU national problems of air pollution, reducing availability of landfill disposal, and (especially for FVC) acid deterioration of Incinerators. A subccemlttee report of that division concluded that plastic battles do not add significantly to the problem as a wholeTt was **cccnaended that another committee, such as the FoM Packaging Material** Cmroltt.ee extend the imrootlgatiun and provide 'critinue,l technical ar.slctsnce to other concerned 3FT ccnniHces. SPI-25671 Page -15ifuly 21 -- 22, 1966 As an alternative, Mr. Cruse suggested th*t we Halt responsibility to arraaglag tear preparation of ad Mthoritativi 'vbiti paper". 3his would put the disposal of plastic packaging vuU Into tbs per spective of the entire parcbl--, tor the present ud ten years ihsed. The search far an author beg-- with the Mgr contributors to the landmark "9pilheue Report", "Waste Using--ent, and Control'' by the Cc--Ittee on pollution, IAA/RNB Publioatlon 1^*00. these writers recr--riisil for--r UtfgBfl personnel nor with Battalia. this organi sation recently received four UM grants on this hroed stibjiet, one of which includes plasties, with other packaging --teriala. Because of this relevant background, aside free the general competence and luage of Battelle, it is thought that no hettsr contractor can be Identified* tie now await a specific proposal frees Bettelie. 2. 31--llfyipg rot Awrosml of Plastic Bottles for Buna Again fits the Bottle Division os-- a restart for assistance. , This has to do vitb breaking the tradition by which "Mew Drug Applications" (for FDA sanction) are written la tax-- of a specific drug la a specific bottls too often daacrlbed in tax-- of one rav --terlal we--fact--'a fovmiatlon. This "locks in" a specific foz--latloe, restricting co^stltlon, and --using delay and explication when either drug -- plastic fonsilatlen mist be charged for any reason not related to the "safety or efficacy" of the drug Itself. The correctire propoeal Is that broader categories be authorised by FDA; polyolefins for dry drugs (powders, tablets, etc.) Is the first to lapis--nt this. A Joist seating was held with --presea* tativee of tbe Phax--asutlcel Maaifsetursre Association, the Bottls Division, sad our cc--iittee. It bees-- evident that tbe drug --facturen have aggravated the prdbl-- by writing their "VDA's" in ter-- of specific plastic for--latlons,- rather then In tax-- of broader descriptions of conpaeltlon end controlling cl--rt i el end physical properties. To correct this our cc--Ittee plane to issue a technical bulletin advising 3F1 --Bribers to suggest to their drug packaging nrietr--rs to use broad --terlal description# in preparing "DA**". A possible corollary is for 3PI to request FDA to set up a "Master File" com prising such description* in tea-- of A3W and other specifications. Drug packagers would then refer to these descriptions when filing their PDA's. Finally, the Joint SF1-PXA technical liaison cc--Ittee --s re established. its purpose is to develop further categories of drugs and corresponding properties of plastic bottles necessary to insure their "safety sr.d efficacy". This is a longer t*r* effort which Alii pr^vM*' valuable guideline* for plastics packaging of drags, r*H tttf Uv.*v? pibMshed in the X/. i?. ph--copoet* XVII for paren- Spl-25672 Page l6- July 21 -- 22, 1966 terol preparation* Ultimately these classifications for plasties would provide the sszae simplicity now evident for gloss contalaers In the three types for parenteral, and the one type far oral and toxical preparations. 3* Occupational Hygiene in Fabricating Plastics Again, because of its broad interest in toxicological natters, cur censittee has been requested to advise in several cases of the shove. Usually these Involve complaints of "toxic dust and/or fumes", even of "cancer", by local health officials or union personnel or both. Polyvlxyl butyr&l film, polyvinyl chloride pipe, polyurethane foam have been involved. In each case, ccompositions and the relevant toxicological literature have been carefully rechecked. In each case there la no evidence of toxic hazard, but there Is evidence of hazard in the Inhalation of particulate matter regardless of ecnposltion. There has been acme evidence of unpleasant odors. The obvious remedy le to Install exhaust ventilation at the scurce of dust or vapor, supplemented by respirators, if needed, for individual operators. I -believe the SPI Plastics Safety Handbook makes brief reference to these corrective measures, but leaves major responsibility to the raw material manufacturers. It is my recceneadatlon that SPI should remind the fabricators that they have primary responaibility for operations beyond the control of the raw material manufacturers. A revision to the Safety Handbook or a special bulletin should be effective. 4. Strictly Food Packaging Materials A small group within our committee has edited and re-edited its chapter on Plastics Materials prepej*ed for the "Milk Plant Operators' H&msl" to be jwblished by the Milk Industry Foundation. Indirectly related t; this Id a number of Inquiries concerned with the effect of protective packaging and transmitted radiation on the favor of milk. In our opinion, this is a very unclear area which represents both an opportunity and a cduplication for plaatlc containers. It was suggested that any later editions of the handbook be revised to include reference to adequate ventilation and fabricated receptacloo. Mr. Cruse advised tliat uur induotry has a bad accident record, particularly in the molding field, as reported by the National Safety Council. A program is under way to educate the mo Idem on oafe manufacturing practlcoa. HEAT 3HKINXAB11: U MATER SOLUBLE FILMS COMMITTEE: Chairman J. Elchhorn, The Dov Chemical Company.

SArerr CCMKCTTBS: Mr. Cruee gave this report: This Important SPI ccsnlttee Is currently experiencing a resurgence of interest and growth. A safety audit of plastics processing plants was con ducted In the late Spring of 1966. This audit will be analyzed by the National Safety Council. Based on the results, a revitabllzod Safety Committee will develop specific programs to help members reduce accidents in their plants. It la expected that the ccnlttee will cooperate closely with the National Safety Council In these endeavors- Approximately twenty Bombers have volunteered to serve on the new consalttee. A chairman will be elected at the next meeting, probably in the early Fall. The National Safety Ccwncii has reecnaended a change In the name of the cremittee frem the Safety Canalttoe to the Accident Prevention Cconittee. Discussion followed regarding the suggested name change. The directors reccenendod that the ccsalttee give consideration to "Hazard Prevention" rather than "Accident Prevention."
