The REACH regulation is a “green code†that protects the environment and human health and pursues social sustainable development. However, there are also public opinion that the new law is a “green barrier†set by the EU using technical standards, safety standards and environmental protection standards.
New regulations changed the main body of responsibility and added to the cost burden of the company. According to EU estimates, the testing cost for each known chemical substance is about 85,000 Euros, and the testing cost for each new chemical substance is about 570,000 Euros.
The REACH regulation has attracted the attention of chemical companies in various countries. Many companies are concerned about this regulation. American chemical companies are concerned that the European Union will use this to boycott American-related products. Japanese chemical companies believe that the new regulations constitute discrimination against non-EU companies, and that SMEs cannot afford excessively high testing costs. Swiss chemical companies also believe that the regulatory procedures are too complicated and non-EU companies, especially SMEs, are hard to face with ease.
Experts from the “China-EU EU Chemical Policy Comparison Project†pointed out that in the process of global economic integration, the impact of the implementation of the REACH Regulation on the world, especially China’s related industries, cannot be underestimated.
First, the cost of exporting related products from China to the EU will increase. From the structure of China's exports of petroleum and chemical products to the European Union, it can be seen that most of them are indispensable plastics, rubbers, organic or inorganic chemical raw materials and various intermediates for the EU. These products and related downstream products will face the problems of registration, evaluation and licensing. It is estimated that the increased costs will increase the export costs of these products to the EU by more than 5%, resulting in the obstruction of EU exports and even withdrawal from the EU market. .
Secondly, it will increase the cost of China's import of related products from the EU and seriously affect the development of downstream related industries. The EU is also an important source of petroleum and chemical products in China. In particular, some high-tech and high-value-added products are still inseparable from the EU market.
Thirdly, after the EU implements the new management law, those products that originally had high costs, low profits, polluting the environment, and endangering human health will have their production areas transferred from the EU to the Third World. China will also face the impact of this shift. Bad effects.
Experts suggest that relevant companies must change their concepts and actively respond to them. Enterprises must see its adverse effects, but must also realize that they reflect the requirements of the market for environmental protection and consumer health, that is, not only the requirements of application performance, but also the prevention of toxicity, mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, genetics, nerves, The strict requirements in terms of allergies and immunity are a need for the entire industry itself.
Enterprises should update their ideas from this height, establish the idea of ​​green production and green marketing, make their products more refined, and produce more green chemicals. This is also the most fundamental way to break the "green barrier" set by the new management law.
