Figure 2.5<br />

Overall flow <strong>of</strong> DEHP through manufacturing processes in 2007. For processing<br />

steps without prior formulation step, the formulation <strong>and</strong> processing are integrated<br />

in one step. All figures in <strong>to</strong>nnes DEHP/year. (COWI, 2009a)<br />

DEHP is <strong>to</strong> some extent imported <strong>and</strong> exported with finished products. Table<br />

2.4 shows the estimated extra-EU import <strong>and</strong> export for some <strong>of</strong> the main<br />

product groups, for which information can be estimated on the basis <strong>of</strong> the<br />

trade statistics (please see COWI, 2009a for details regarding the calculation<br />

method). For most product groups the net import is relatively small compared<br />

<strong>to</strong> the production within the EU, <strong>and</strong> the end-use distribution follows in broad<br />

outline the distribution <strong>of</strong> EU production.<br />
