Why REACH or other NTBs
Basically a country or group of countries enact NTB’s to protect:
– The interest of consumers, citizens• Health, safety, overall well being …….
– National interest• Economic, local industry, level playing field, strategic ……
– Local & Global Environment • Carbon foot print, hazardous chemical substances
Weak or no regulations / weak or no compliance can compromise the interest of a nation, consumers, industry and environment.

REACH: Basics• Regulation was enacted in June 2007, and enforced in June 2008.
• In its first stage (2008) regulation requires the chemical manufacturers in EU, importers and / or non-EU exporters to register the chemicals that they place in the EU market.
• Onus for regulation compliance is on manufactures, suppliers / exporters.
• The REACH regulations enlists chemicals as “Substance of Very High Concern” (SVHC) in articles;
• So far 39 chemicals have been added to this list and another 11are in the consultation stage.
• It is also expected that this list would grow to about 500 chemicals over a period of next few years.

Challenges before Indian Exporter
• Low or even no awareness about these regulations and their impact.
• Exporters need to certify that the product is SVHC free or theproduct is REACH compliant (SVHC notification 0.1 %wt/wt and not more that 1 ton in a year) is done to European Chemical Agency (ECHA).
• The SVHC list keeps increasing and updated regularly.
• EU Buyer will require an independent accredited verification and inspection system
• Noncompliance will not allow the export to EU markets.

REACH: Impact on Export
• Affected Sectors are: Chemicals & chemical containing products, toys, dyes, textile, leather, handicraft, Specialty Chemicals, Intermediates, Nutraceuticals, nano-materials, additives etc.
• As newer and newer chemical based products are being developed at rather high pace, the list of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) is expected to increase.
• Product cost escalation (due to compliance related expenditure) and more quality based competition.

Way forward is sustainable manufacturing
• Increased proactive commitment and emphasis on:– R&D and Innovation
– Green chemistry and catalysis,
– Environmental concerns
– Mitigating Risk
– Safe manufacturing practices

Chemistry: The mother of materials
8
• A variety of chemical transformations forms the very basis of the existence.
• The phenomenal growth of recent material development is mainly due to:
• The extensive use (& abuse) of naturally available mineral resources.
• The discoveries of a variety of man made chemicals / materials.
• However, Chemistry is no longer welcome by society, if not hated.
• Why only chemistry needs to be green, and not other branches of science? • Because chemistry is also known as the mother of Pollution,
Risk, Hazards (air, water and earth)

Risk = Hazard x Exposure
Risk elimination / minimization By avoiding / limiting:
• Exposure (Reactive / Curative Approach)– Down stream treatment, disposal, catalytic
converters etc.
• Hazard (Proactive / Preventive Approach)– Green Chemistry, Novel Catalytic Processes, Efficient
separation technologies.

Advantages are welcome, but…
• No takers of consequent disadvantages.
• The onus, and quite rightly so, of clearing the chemical mess all around also rests on Chemists, Chemical Technologists, Industrialists and off course Governments.
• “Samudra-Manthan:
• AMRUT & HALÃHAL” anecdote

Summary and Conclusions CONTD.
• Increase awareness about REACH and similar regulations consistently
• Facilitate the compliance among Chemicals manufacturing sector.
• Change of mind-set: Challenge as opportunity.
• With globalization of business opportunities, the quality, safety as well as affordability of products is no longer compartmentalized as Export Quality and Non-export Quality.
• Hence, the better way is to adopt safe and green products and manufacturing process for sustainable business and growth.
• C.K. Prahlad’s formula: N=1 and R =G.

Summary and Conclusion• Ever increasing emphasis on Green products and Process
through Innovative R&D and Manufacturing.
• More and more interdisciplinary approach (Bio-chemical?!!!).
• Manufacturers need to have longer and sustainable business perspective.
• Increased collaborations among R&D and Industry as well as different sections and sectors.
• Perhaps a leaf from Pharma sector mainly on quality and compliance?!
• More of specialized centers with good networking for analysis ofboth Inorganic and Organic Impurity profiling and Certification.This may also be a good business proposition.
