What are key actions of CSS?
Key actions to implement Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS) include:
- Banning the most harmful chemicals in consumer products - allowing their use only where essential
- Account for the cocktail effect of chemicals when assessing risks from chemicals
- Phasing out the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the EU, unless their use is essential
- Boosting the investment and innovative capacity for production and use of chemicals that are safe and sustainable by design, and throughout their life cycle
- Promoting the EU’s resilience of supply and sustainability of critical chemicals
- Establishing a simpler “one substance one assessment” process for the risk and hazard assessment of chemicals
- Playing a leading role globally by championing and promoting high standards and not exporting chemicals banned in the EU
