 Detergent companies claimed it is not cost effective to make separate batches of detergent for the states with phosphate bans (although detergents are typically formulated for local markets), and so most have voluntarily removed phosphates from all dishwasher detergents.In addition, rinse aids have contained nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates.These have been banned in the European Union by EU Directive 76/769/EEC.
