Economic Analysis of the Impacts of the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability Mixture Assessment Factor (MAF)

Background to the Study

A case study analy­sis has been com­mis­sio­ned by the Inter­na­tio­nal Fra­gran­ce Asso­cia­tion (IFRA) to assess the busi­ness impacts to the Euro­pean (EU) che­mi­cals industry of selec­ted actions from the EU Commission’s (EC) Che­mi­cals Stra­tegy for Sus­tai­na­bi­lity (CSS): Towards a Toxic-Free Environment.

The Euro­pean Green Dea­l² was laun­ched by the Euro­pean Com­mis­sion in Decem­ber 2019 and aims to trans­form the EU into a modern, resour­ce-effi­cient and com­pe­ti­ti­ve eco­nomy, to impro­ve the well­being and health of citi­zens and futu­re gene­ra­tions by moving towards a toxic-free envi­ron­ment. The Euro­pean Union has one of the most com­prehen­si­ve and pro­tec­ti­ve regu­la­tory fra­me­works on che­mi­cals in the world, sup­por­ted by the most advan­ced know­led­ge base glo­bally. The manu­fac­tu­re and use of che­mi­cal subs­tan­ces within the EU must comply with a com­prehen­si­ve legis­la­ti­ve fra­me­work, which is increa­singly beco­ming a model for safety stan­dards world­wi­de, to ensu­re a high level of pro­tec­tion of human health and the envi­ron­ment, whilst also main­tai­ning the fun­ctio­ning of the sin­gle mar­ket. This being said, stu­dies have noted the need to con­ti­nue to impro­ve current prac­ti­ces to ensu­re a higher level of protection.

The Che­mi­cals Stra­tegy for Sus­tai­na­bi­lity (CSS) was laun­ched in Octo­ber 2020 to pro­vi­de a new long-term stra­tegy for che­mi­cals policy, in line with the aims of the EU Green Deal. The stra­tegy stri­ves for a toxic-free envi­ron­ment, whe­re che­mi­cals are manu­fac­tu­red and used in a way that maxi­mi­ses their con­tri­bu­tion but avoids cau­sing harm to the pla­net and the popu­la­tion, both now and for futu­re gene­ra­tions. The stra­tegy con­tains around 80 action points or com­mit­ments, which seek to sim­plify and strengthen the che­mi­cals legis­la­ti­ve fra­me­work to build a com­prehen­si­ve know­led­ge base that can sup­port evi­den­ce-based policy­ma­king, faci­li­ta­te inno­va­tion of safe and sus­tai­na­ble che­mi­cals, and further pro­tect human health and the environment.
