Objectives
Spreading awareness
Enhancing the consciousness of human and environmental impacts of materials and chemicals used in purchased components for own products to sustain a more informed decision making about materials and components selection, during products design and production
Providing data
Providing EU Health Units with precious data about composition, quantity and environmentalhuman possible impacts to allow assessing the exposures from chemical mixtures
Reducing costs
Highly reducing internal costs, related to the continuous updating of materials databases and dramatically reducing the time-to-compliance with regulations of products before accessing the market
Supporting change
supporting companies and policy makers in a more conscious selection and use of chemicals in products and guaranteeing the prompt implementation of EU policies&directives related to chemicals in EU products and production processes

Timeline
Expected Results
Development of a new chemical monitoring data tool
Linking each chemical substance used by a company with both the regulatory framework and its impacts on human health and environment
Visibility of composition of the materials
in the manufactured products, covering up to 95% of the total material
Shared knowledge
of all restricted and controlled substances along the whole supply chain
More effective, faster and flexible compliance
of the manufactured products with EU environmental and chemicals directives and regulations, with time to identify products impacted by a new regulation reduced by more than 90%
Proactive reaction
to the updating of EU environmental and chemicals directives and regulations.
Reduction of the global warming potential (GWP)
associated with the WHEMEA products.
