About

BEUC advocates a world in which consumers' exposure to hormone-disrupting chemicals and other harmful chemicals in everyday life is minimised. The EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability is a crucial stepping-stone towards achieving that goal. Together with our members, we work to ensure the EU delivers the promised and needed changes for consumers on the ground.

We currently call for improvements to several pieces of legislation. This includes the EU’s flagship chemical law, REACH – along with product legislation on cosmetics, food packaging and toys, as well as the rules governing how chemical hazards are identified and communicated to consumers (the CLP Regulation).
