Over 40 concerned waste management, industry, and civil society organisations are urging EU leaders to uphold the commitment to chemical transparency and traceability. A stable policy environment is essential for investing in the phase-out of substances and gathering information for more traceability in value chains. Mandatory reporting on substances of concern will help to ensure a transparent and competitive economy.
As an everyday consumer and industrial product, detergents have a significant impact on the environment via water pollution and contain substances that have an impact on human health. The ongoing update to the EU Detergent Regulation offers an important opportunity to improve the requirements on detergents in the European market and minimise the effects on human health and the environment.
ECOS, together with 9 other organisations, sent a joint letter urging the rapporteurs and Members of the European Parliament to maintain promises from the European Green Deal and the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability, by allowing transparency and control of substances of concern in everyday products through ESPR.
