What are the alternatives to phthalates for PVC toys ?

Plasticizers of different chemical families (citrates, terephthalates) can substitute for phthalates in PVC for articles intended for children. ANSES(*), in a report of 2016, identified the following alternatives:
- TXIB (2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutyrate)
- ATBC (Tributyl acetyl citrate)
- DEHTP (Di (2-ethyl-hexyl) terephthalate)
- DINCH (Di-isononyl-cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate)
It should be noted that these plasticizers are sometimes used in a mixture in order to achieve the same performance as with phthalates.
It is also possible to opt, instead of an alternative substance to phthalates, for a material replacing PVC: for this purpose, polyethylene or ethylene-vinyl acetate are among the most widely used materials.
