LANXESS position on the upcoming revision of the chemicals regulation REACH
In its Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability the European Commission announced their plans to revise the chemicals regulation REACH. A REACH revision will have major impacts on both the chemical industry and users of chemicals (substances, mixtures and articles).
The chemical-pharmaceutical industry is a key sector that stands at the beginning of many value and supply chains and plays a major role as a driver in achieving the ambitious goals of the Green Deal, e. g. in climate protection, and in further advancing digitalisation and high-quality supplies of medicines. Thus, regulatory options for achieving ambitious goals must be designed in such a way that value creation continues to take place in the EU. They must go hand in hand with increasing the ability to innovate and improving the international competitiveness of the industry. Planning security in line with a stable and predictable legal framework is crucial.
