REACH will present significant challenges to all of us. There’s still much water to flow under the bridge before the detailed requirements of REACH are set in tablets of stone.
However, there is one thing we can anticipate and that is that REACH will demand much greater supply chain co-operation on the use of chemicals.
From the chemical manufacturer, through the formulator, to the product manufacturer to the final retailer we will all have to work together far more, understand each others challenges, languages and contribution to a mutual value chain.
Today we want to share with you some ideas about how such partnerships can work. We don’t offer a panacea, nor do we imagine that our relationship is necessarily representative of those that you in this room may have, but we feel much of the learning from our experience can be interpreted constructively in your supply chains.
