Substance Safety Summary
SUBSTANCE: Antimony Trioxide
GENERAL STATEMENT
Antimony trioxide is a naturally occurring mineral found in the earth’s crust.
Antimony, being a natural element, cannot
by definition be degraded.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-04/Sustainable Material Answers_ Circular Economy 2022.pdf
Inspired by regenerative ecosystems found in nature, the circular
economy proposes that all goods and products find their way back into
supporting the same system from which they were created once a person is
finished using them.
Ecosystems found
in nature are regenerative and restorative rather than linear.
It is based on three principles:
• Design out waste and pollution
• Keep products and materials in use
• Regenerate natural systems
By following these principles, a circular economy can drastically reduce waste,
pollution, and resource depletion.
