REACH, SVHC, and PFAS are becoming increasingly important topics for industrial mid-market companies. Growing regulatory requirements present many organizations with major challenges in implementing them efficiently.

In our exclusive live webinar "REACH, SVHC & PFAS in Focus: Requirements and Efficient Implementation in Mid-Market" with Johannes Groll, CEO & Head of Product Development at Tacto, we explain how you can efficiently integrate these regulations into your supply chain strategy.

‍

REACH concerns the registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemical substances in the EU. SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) are substances of particular concern that are subject to strict controls. PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of over 10,000 chemicals that are increasingly regulated due to their persistence and potential toxicity.

‍

Currently, there are 22,773 registered substances under REACH, 241 SVHC substances, and over 10,000 PFAS substances. The SVHC list is updated twice yearly, creating constant challenges for companies. Additionally, a PFAS ban is under discussion in the EU, which could have far-reaching consequences for many industries.

‍

Many mid-market companies face the challenge of implementing these complex requirements. If affected companies do not prepare, severe consequences threaten: products could no longer be imported, penalties loom for non-compliance with reporting obligations, and competitiveness could be weakened by the need to build alternative suppliers.
