Xinhua News Agency (Reporter Shi Yonghong) "Our country's detergent consumption is huge, and the problem of water eutrophication is prominent. The sodium tripolyphosphate contained in detergents is dissolved effective phosphorus, which can be absorbed and utilized by algae and other organisms." Yang Zhen, a deputy to the National People's Congress and president of Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, proposed that legislation should be enacted as soon as possible to comprehensively ban phosphorus in detergents.
Deputy Yang Zhen said that China has proposed banning phosphorus for more than 10 years, but the measures have not been decisive. Some detergent industry enterprises still resist a comprehensive phosphorus ban for the sake of industry development. Some local governments also do not pay enough attention to phosphorus bans. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly prohibit the production, sale, and use of phosphorus-containing detergents through national legislation. In practical operation, a transition period of one to two years can be considered, first strictly banning the sale and use of various phosphorus-containing detergents in key areas and key river basins, and then implementing a nationwide phosphorus ban.
Deputy Yang Zhen suggested that the government should use economic means to regulate and encourage residents to use phosphorus-free liquid detergents; revise laundry powder standards; implement a comprehensive phosphorus ban on all detergents that can discharge sodium tripolyphosphate; require all types of detergents to correctly label phosphorus content; deploy government management departments at all levels to carry out strict phosphorus ban work; strictly investigate phosphorus-containing detergents mixed into the market according to law; and strictly prohibit industrial enterprises, medical units, and others from using phosphorus-containing detergent products.
