The EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability is an important developing policy plan in Europe as it will significantly impact the chemicals legislative landscape in the coming years. The objective of the Chemicals Strategy is to promote the transition to chemicals that are safe and sustainable by design.
Under the strategy, several policy tools will be developed that will be critical for industries around the globe, including in North America. EU REACH and CLP regulations will be central policy instruments to put the strategy into action. Many chemicals of concern will be banned, further restricted, or phased out.
