European Union's REACH regulation
The European Union's REACH regulation is a law that manages the safe use of chemicals in products. It requires companies to identify and assess the risks of the chemicals they produce or sell, ensuring they pose no harm to people's health or the environment. If a chemical is found to be dangerous, companies must find safer alternatives or reduce its risks. REACH promotes transparency, innovation, and safer chemical management throughout the supply chain, ultimately aiming to protect consumers and ecosystems while enabling fair trade within the EU.
