News of the month

Every month, we bring together some of our top news stories from the last four weeks to highlight the biggest developments affecting product safety professionals. Take a look at the last month’s top stories below.

Last month, the European Commission adopted its restrictions roadmap – a rolling list of thousands of harmful chemicals to be prioritised for bans in the coming years under the EU chemicals strategy. It also added five SVHCs to the REACH authorisation list. Meanwhile in the US, industry and environmental groups have called on the US EPA to provide clarity on the circumstances that will drive it to make TSCA risk determinations on a whole-chemical, rather than use-by-use, basis. And Starbucks has committed to eliminating PFASs from its food packaging materials in all of its stores in 2023.
