Sustainability
Many chemicals can harm the environment and human health,interfere with ecosystems and weaken human resilience
- Banning the most harmful chemicals in consumer products – allowing their use
only where essential
- Account for the cocktail effect of chemicals when assessing risks from chemicals
- Phase out per – and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the EU, unless their
use is essential
- Boost the investment and innovative capacity for production and use of chemicals
that are safe and sustainable by design throughout their life cycle
- Promote EU’s resilience of supply and sustainability of critical chemicals
- Establish a simpler “one substance one assessment” process for the risk and
hazard assessment of chemicals
- Play a leading role globally by championing and promoting high standards and not
exporting chemicals banned in the EU
Chemicals are everywhere in our daily life and play a fundamental role in most of our activities.
In line with the European Green Deal, the strategy strives for a toxic-free environment, where chemicals are produced and used in a way that maximizes their contribution to society including achieving the green and digital transition, while avoiding harm to the planet and to current and future generations. It envisages the EU industry as a globally competitive player in the production and use of safe and sustainable chemicals. The strategy proposes a clear roadmap and timeline for the transformation of industry with the aim of attracting investment into safe and sustainable products and production methods.
Let’s dive into the intriguing relationship between nature and chemicals! Nature’s complex systems are full of organic compounds, essential oils, and powerful antioxidants that contribute to the balance of ecosystems. On the other hand, chemicals are vital for scientific research, industry, and everyday products. Finding the perfect equilibrium between respecting nature and utilizing chemicals responsibly is key for a sustainable future. #NatureAndChemicals #BalanceInEcosystems #SustainableFuture
Sustainability in chemicals distribution refers to the responsible and ethical practices involved in the sourcing, production, transportation, and disposal of chemicals. This includes minimizing the environmental impact of chemical distribution processes, ensuring the health and safety of workers and communities, and promoting the efficient use of resources. Sustainable chemicals distribution also involves promoting transparency, accountability, and ethical business practices throughout the supply chain. By prioritizing sustainability in chemicals distribution, companies can reduce their carbon footprint, protect natural resources, and contribute to a more sustainable future for generations to come.
