Technical Support to find safer alternatives

Expertise to help companies already exists in many countries. Companies who are adopting safer alternatives often contract outside help. Chemical producers have their own in-house research teams. Other institutes work with SMEs such as the European Cleaner Production networks and some Member States have well-established programmes that focus on sustainable product design and safer chemical use. 

It is essential that ALL authorisations are time-limited. This is necessary to move towards the goal of phasing out all chemicals of very high concern.
