Legislation: Microplastics in focus
The EU has adopted a comprehensive restriction on microplastics intentionally added to products (REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XVII, Entry 78). This means that the sale of microplastics and of mixtures to which microplastics have been added and which release them during use is now prohibited. This has far-reaching consequences for manufacturers and distributors of products containing microplastics.

What’s next for CLP and GHS?
The classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) Regulation is a cornerstone of EU chemical legislation. Together with the UN’s Globally Harmonized System of the classification and labelling of chemicals (GHS), they are fundamental components of global chemicals management.
2023 has been a landmark year with the introduction of new hazard classes to the CLP. Meanwhile for GHS, several key global jurisdictions have consulted on new standards or transitioned to revised editions this year.
It is critical to stay ahead of these developments. This one-day virtual conference will deliver expert guidance on the meaning and impact of CLP and GHS updates for companies operating in the EU and beyond.
The agenda will feature informative presentations and interactive Q&A sessions with industry leaders, creating an environment to help you build knowledge and ensure compliance with the latest regulatory updates.
