Safer use of chemicals

 Inside an industry facility

The Swedish Chemicals Agency is the competent authority to act as driving force and with responsibility to follow-up developments towards A Non-Toxic Environment. Everyone has to contribute in these efforts in order that coming generations and the environment inside and outside the borders of Sweden are not negatively affected by the chemicals being used.

As a consumer, you can ask questions and make demands. As a producer, you can replace dangerous substances and continually work to reduce risks. The companies that are proactive and take guidance from the environmental objectives are better prepared when new and stricter chemicals regulations come into force.
