Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

Reliable data on ready biodegradability demonstrate without doubt that White willow bark extract is readily biodegradable fulfilling the 10 -day window requirement.

Further experimental data on environmental fate properties are not available. However, the very low log Pow value allows to conclude on a) a very low bioaccumulation potential and b) a very low adsorption potential on sewage sludge, sediment and soil.

Additional information

The reliable and valid test on ready biodegradability allows to conclude on a rapid and thorough mineralisation of the substance. As such, decomposition to CO2 will be rapid.

Further, the UVCB registration substance has uniformly a very low experimentally determined log Pow (< 0.3; extrapolated log-value: -2.2; OECD 117), without any fraction of higher log Pow. Adsorption is related to this parameter and can thus be concluded to be very low.

Accordingly, the substance must be considered to be of a very low adsorption potential for sludge, sediment, or soil. Due to its rapid mineralisation there will be no potential for long-term accumulation in sediment or soils.
