Advanced Manufacturing

Advanced manufacturing is the future of stuff. It is consumer-oriented and uses intelligent approaches and techniques. However, while there are many advantages to advanced manufacturing, the technologies and methods used often rely on the inclusion of highly regulated chemicals. From phthalates, aldehydes, and fluorochemicals in additive manufacturing, to advanced polymers, resins and adhesives in composite materials. Bio-based chemicals add both interesting Green substitution options, as well as a layer of regulatory complexity. Similarly, the revolution in the use of nano-materials across a swathe of sectors, increases the regulatory risk to your business.

In our opinion, the industry urgently needs Life Cycle Analyses tailored for the sector, as well as reliable Green Chemistry substitutions. Similarly, we see an increasing need for help in interpreting nano-release studies and innovative testing methodologies for new materials and formulations. Yordas can support you on these issues and more.

We can help you navigate the global regulatory maze, keep you up-to-date on new or changing regulations, and advise you on Hazard Communications, including poison centre notifications, across the globe.
