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.
