Adopted to protect human health and the environment from potential risks that can be posed by chemicals, REACH applies to all chemical substances and so has an impact on most companies across the EU and companies who export to or import into Europe and the burden of proof is placed on those companies. To comply with the regulation, companies must identify and manage the risks linked to the substances they manufacture and market in the EU. They must demonstrate to ECHA how the substance can be safely used, and they must communicate the risk management measures to the users.

Take advantage of mutual recognition between EU Member States by registering your fertilising product under EU FPR 2019/1009, including CE marking, compliant labelling and compositional safety assessment for European-wide market access. Ensure polymer inclusions and biodegradability assessments are properly covered and plan for ongoing compliance.
