CTPA Webinar: Impact of the EU REACH Microplastics Restriction on Cosmetic Formulations

The EU REACH restriction on microplastics was published in September 2023. It impacts any solid, synthetic, non-biodegradable polymer in any cosmetic product, and will therefore have an extremely significant impact on all cosmetic product categories.

As the transition periods have started, companies will be working towards compliance with the requirements of restriction.  This webinar will help companies understand the restriction requirements, how much of their portfolio is affected and the timescales available for reformulating their products and/or complying with the new labelling and reporting requirements. 

The webinar will cover the following key topics:

1. What is a microplastic and how to assess if your ingredients are in scope
2. Timelines and transition periods
3. Tools to help companies plan for compliance
4. FAQs and case studies
5. Possible legislative activity in the UK
