CLP, Cosmetics And New Hazard Classes In The EU’s Haste To Be Green, With Louise Witter

In this episode, HBW Insight chats with Louise Witter, director and principal consultant at UK-based Chemical Legislation Professionals, about proposed revisions to the EU’s Classification, Labeling and Packaging Regulation (CLP) to introduce new hazard classes, including for endocrine disruptors. The discussion, just prior to the European Commission’s adoption of the proposal on 19 December, ranges from implications for cosmetics companies to reflections on the EU Green Deal, which may be outpacing scientific consensus and endangering an already beleaguered and highly regulated chemicals industry.
