The EU is about to start reforming its flagship chemicals legislation, REACH, making it a pivotal moment for anyone working in the chemical industry.

At a recent Digital Dialogue, Cefic gathered a large group of policy makers, chemical and downstream industry representatives to try to understand what an efficient and effective revision of REACH could look like and discuss remaining issues and concerns.
