At the end of 2020, the European Commission adopted the EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability to establishes concrete actions for a safer and greener future. This long-term strategy aims to increase the protection of the environment and human health. Its objective is also to ban the most harmful chemicals in consumer products and to phase-out hazardous chemicals that affect vulnerable groups.

By being part of the European Union’s zero pollution ambition by 2050, the strategy will also enable the green transition of the chemical sector and promote high standards and not exporting chemicals banned in the EU.
