The ongoing revision of the Detergent Regulation offers an important opportunity to improve the requirements for detergents in the European market and therefore minimise harmful effects on human health and the environment. We urge co-legislators to adopt an ambitious text to improve water quality, protect human health, and decrease microplastic release.
Detergents have a significant impact on the environment, such as water pollution and reliance upon plastic packaging. Furthermore, detergents still contain substances that have an impact on human health. The upcoming trilogue discussions for the Detergent Regulation offer an important opportunity to improve the requirements on detergents in the European market and minimise the effects on human health and the environment.
