The only plastic we've had problems with is PVC. FR ABS was not.

Hi
I'm hoping that one of you on this list might be able to help out with
regulatory information on plastic materials. What I am trying to determine is
what plastic material are allowed to be used in Europe and other parts of the
world. For one of our products, we are planning to mold the enclosure from a FR
ABS material. This material employs Bromide (sp?) as the flame retardant. I am
told that this chemical makes the plastic non-recyclable. I have heard that
this is not allowed in some European countries, but can not confirm. Does any
one have any experience with this?
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
Kelly
