In my opinion, increasing environmental compliance requirements are putting the development of new flame retardants at the forefront of safety technology. We are seeing more restrictions on halogenated flame retardants which eliminates a lot of the long-standing methods used for plastics. There is also a growing demand for manufacturers to use post-consumer recycled materials, which is more difficult to do with many flame retardant plastics.
