HANGZHOU, 8 August 2023 – REACH24H is pleased to announce that it will be hosting the 15th Chemical Regulatory Annual Conference (CRAC) in an offline format on November 16-17, 2023. After three years of virtual conferences, we are excited to have the opportunity to bring industry experts and companies together in person to exchange ideas and discuss regulatory changes and market trends in industrial chemicals, pesticides, and recycled plastics sectors.

“For the past 14 years, CRAC has not only been a key event for REACH24H, but also a significant chance for the whole industries to gather around, think together, and break barriers together,” said Cassie Li, deputy general manager of REACH24H Consulting Group.

REACH24H has an over 14-year history of supporting industries with our compliance services. We have been instrumental in bringing the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) to China for the first time in 2009, providing industries with a chance for comprehensive face-to-face exchanges on trade barriers and market changes.

CRAC 2023: Together We Break Barriers

This year, we are excited to offer a two-day in-person conference to facilitate deep discussions on specific hot issues in the industries from November 16 to 17, 2023, in Shanghai, China.

As the “dual carbon” policy gets enriched by the Chinese national government and local administrations in these years, sustainability has become a promising blueprint and a challenge for those seeking to enter and succeed in the Chinese market. In addition, with the development of digitalization and informatization, the management of hazardous chemicals has also evolved in both theory and practice, posing new perspectives and opportunities for companies.

At CRAC 2023, we will be addressing not only the anticipated updates in chemical regulations worldwide but also several related sectors to broaden the industry’s horizons. Our goal is to engage in meaningful discussions on topics that are truly important and valuable, with the aim of helping the industry break free from conventional thinking and drive innovative changes to adapt to these evolving times.

Parallel Session: Global Insights on Recycled Plastics

The increasing demand for sustainable practices and the global push towards reducing plastic waste have propelled the movement for plastic restrictions and the implementation of regulations related to recycled plastics. This shift has gained significant momentum worldwide. Particularly, the safety assessment and compliance standards for recycled plastics used in food contact applications have become a focal point of attention.

At CRAC 2023, attendees will have the opportunity to gain insights into the specific regulatory requirements, compliance standards, and market trends in China, the EU, the US, and other relevant markets. Experts and industry professionals will share their experiences and strategies for navigating the regulatory landscape, ensuring compliance, and meeting the growing demand for sustainable materials.

Over the past few years, the pesticide industry has faced significant challenges as certain substances have been restricted or banned due to safety concerns and environmental risks in major trading regions, making it more important than ever for the industry to find innovative ways to adapt and succeed. As policies and updates are constantly testing companies’ resilience, it is crucial for the industry to find a way out of this dilemma.

The pesticide session at CRAC 2023 will focus on China’s newly revised management measures for pesticide registration, as well as the U.S. EPA pesticide registration, and EU plant protection products and pesticide regulatory updates and changes. In addition, the session will feature a half-day dedicated to market trends, with discussions on innovative compounds, industry development, and collaboration to help companies make informed decisions and stay ahead of the curve.
