European Commission publishes an ambitious chemicals strategy
11 December 2020, 09:23
The European Commission has presented its new chemicals strategy for sustainability, containing ambitions and objectives for EU chemicals policy over the coming years. Among other things, the strategy includes measures to control endocrine disrupting substances, hazardous substances in goods, especially those imported into the European Union, the combination effects of chemicals, and persistent organic pollutants such as PFAS.
The EU chemical strategy is intended to improve protection for people and the environment from hazardous chemicals, including simplifying and strengthening legislation and increasing the global competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry by developing safe and sustainable chemicals. This is part of the vision of net-zero emissions for a toxic-free environment announced in the European Commission’s political agenda, A European Green Deal. The strategy presents a new hierarchy for chemical management based on promoting the development of safe and sustainable chemicals while simultaneously phasing out non-essential uses of problematic substances.
