In the jungle of the constantly changing regulatory landscape, it can be difficult for globally active companies to maintain an overview. BASF wants to simplify the management of regulatory issues and is therefore expanding its RegXcellence Service in the field of plastic additives.
RegXcellence includes digital solutions and simplifies the management of regulatory issues by providing advice to accelerate new developments. Plastic additive customers will have direct digital access to regulatory documents. A Global team of regulatory experts also analyses relevant EHS (environment, health and safety) data. These experts also provide support with services relating to registrations, process and substance consulting services and special regulatory training.
"As a leading global manufacturer of plastic additives, we utilise our extensive experience in the plastics industry and our in-depth knowledge of product stewardship and chemicals legislation to stay one step ahead of regulatory developments. We proactively support our customers to ensure the responsible and appropriate use of our additive solutions. By extending our successful RegXcellence services to the area of plastic additives, we enable our customers to benefit from our extensive regulatory services and expertise. This enables us to Minimise business risks together, accelerate new developments and grow sustainably through compliance with regulations."
Dr Thomas KlosterPresident, Performance Chemicals, BASF
