View the ECHA Webinar ‘Why opt for substitution’

Replacing hazardous chemicals with safer alternatives can bring substantial benefits to the company, the environment and the health of workers and consumers. Companies using substances that have been identified as SVHCs under REACH, have to decide whether to apply for a permission to continue using these toxic substances for a limited period of time or to substitute them with safer alternatives.
On 22 September the first of a series of webinars on substitution was held by ECHA and a group of accredited stakeholder organisations. The aim is to inspire companies to substitute hazardous chemicals and explain how it can be done (ECHA website, September 2015).
