Regulation 2023/2055 microplastics restriction and notification to ECHA
The recent entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2023/2055 has established a new and demanding regulatory framework for the entire plastic value chain, with the aim of preventing microplastic pollution.
This course will provide you with the essential keys and practical tools to adapt your operations to the new legislation, protecting both the environment and the legal security of your company. In addition, companies will understand how to correctly report microplastics to the ECHA.
