• Five Guiding Principles in support of a successful European Green Deal .pdf

  Uploaded 12 Aug 2021

  FEICA's five Guiding Principles in support of a successful European Green Deal  

  FEICA supports efforts to improve products sustainability, resource efficiency and circularity. Adhesives and sealants perform critical functions to transition towards a carbon neutral and circular economy in key applications such as those in renewables, electronics, construction, the automotive sector, and packaging. Adhesives and sealants enable durability, recycling, CO2 reduction, repairability, upgradability and material efficiency.
  The industry is committed to support the continuous improvement of the chemical and product policy frameworks to enable innovations and societal progress. This paper highlights some key features that are needed for more efficient, pragmatic, and impactful chemicals legislation.

  FEICA comments after fourth CASG polymers meeting

  The ‘Thought Starter on substance identification and joint submission obligations of Polymers Requiring Registration’, developed by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), was discussed during the fourth CARACAL subgroup (CASG) polymers meeting on 22 June (Agenda item 4: CASG-Polymers/05/2021).

  FEICA submitted some initial comments regarding the paper in advance of the CASG meeting. These are the additional comments on the paper, in line with the discussions held during the meeting.

  Mixture Assessment Factor explained

  Under the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability, the Commission plans to put a system in place that covers the combination effects of unintentional chemical mixtures. Because of the complexity linked to regulating an almost infinite number of possible combination of chemicals, the concept of a Mixture Assessment Factor (MAF) was launched. Find out more details about the MAF concept and the consequences in this FEICA leaflet.

• FEICA webinar on the upcoming registration of polymers.pdf

  Presentation slides of the FEICA webinar ‘The Upcoming Registration of Polymers under REACH’ – 23 June 2021

  Key takeaways:

  - The REACH Regulation will be amended to extend the registration requirements to polymers, among other things

  - The use of polymers within the adhesives and sealants industry is very widespread. Polymers are the chemicals which enable adhesives and sealants to work

  - Customisation of the polymers included in adhesives and sealants often results in a large number of new polymer species, often with a short life cycle

  - Customisation is required in order to fulfil technical feasibility and customer requirements as well as regulatory needs

  - Many companies customising polymers currently acting as downstream users (DUs) under REACH legislation may become potential polymer registrants

  - An easy and straightforward registration process should be ensured to allow the flexibility needed to adapt polymers to market needs on short notice

  - Exemptions, the possibility to group similar polymers, and volume cutoffs would help mitigate the impact of registration on downstream users
