Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Green liquor sludge is an inorganic UVCB substance and it is not biodegradable in a sense of microbiological utilization as a source of carbon and energy. In favorable environmental conditions, the constituents may still be subject to biologically mediated processes leading to biotransformations. Elemental carbon, carbonates and inorganic sulfur constituents take part in the natural biogeochemical cycles of carbon and sulfur. The sulfur cycle and carbon cycle are of major importance to aquatic and terrestrial life. These cycles consists of biological (and abiotic) processes that transforms the elements to meet the purpose and needs of the target organisms.
These cycles transfer, degrade and transform speciation of the inorganic constituents by characteristic way and depending on local environmental conditions. Anthropogenic emissions of GLS constituents in to the environment will be inevitable affected by these natural cycles. Green liquor sludge contains (heavy) metal constituent in trace amounts, which can be regarded nontransformable (persistent) in the environment.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
