Press Release on FEICA Stakeholder Forum
FEICA launched a Stakeholder Forum to enable long-term dialogue and collaboration. The first session which was held on 11 June focused on the REACH revision and its impact on end-user stakeholders and markets.
Beyond immediate policy discussions, the FEICA Stakeholder Forum is aimed at building a long-term collaboration framework across the entire adhesive and sealant value chain. Participants are invited to share insights and engage in pending policy dialogues. The Stakeholder Forum is set up as a recurring platform to address regulatory topics of shared relevance across the value chain, reinforcing its commitment to collaborative, cross-sector dialogue.

FEICA Stakeholder Forum on REACH – Presentation Slides
On 11 June 2025, FEICA held a Stakeholder Forum in Brussels to discuss the implications of the ongoing REACH revision. The Forum brought together representatives from sectors such as textiles and apparel, automotive, aerospace and defence, flexible and carton packaging, retail and wholesale, printing, construction equipment and infrastructure, environmental packaging, tyre and rubber manufacturing, digital technology, and downstream chemical users. These are the key takeaways from FEICA’s first Stakeholder Forum:
- Shared challenges call for shared solutions - End-user markets across sectors face similar impacts from REACH, from reformulation needs to innovation delays, making collaboration essential
- A strong, unified voice matters - By aligning on common concerns, stakeholders can more effectively advocate for a simplified, innovation-friendly REACH framework
- The Stakeholder Forum will serve as a recurring platform to address regulatory and strategic topics of shared relevance, reinforcing FEICA’s commitment to inclusive, cross-sector collaboration
The presentation slides of the session can be viewed/downloaded HERE.
