Business analysis of the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability
A study by independent research consultancy Ricardo Energy & Environment assessed the impact of the EU's Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability against baseline projections for industry growth.
The study suggests that more than a quarter of the industry’s portfolio in turnover terms would be affected in some way by the proposed changes, with knock-on effects on consumers, with a reduction in choice of products that people consider important to their mental and physical wellbeing.
A separate case study analysis focuses on the introduction of a generic Mixture Assessment Factor (MAF) for the chemical safety assessments (CSA) of substances carried out under REACH registration.
The Green Deal demo fragrance
Created in partnership between The International Fragrance Association and the International Society of Perfumer-Creators (ISPC), the Green Deal demo fragrance is a fragrance of Europe, for Europe.
It brings together ingredients from across the continent, highlighting the way that the fragrance industry contributes to Europe's prosperity and sustainability, and the deep cultural roots of fragrance in many European countries.
The fragrance was created by master perfumer Calice Becker, Co-President of the ISPC.
