Green Chemistry
Green Chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances. Green chemistry applies across the life cycle of a chemical product, including its design, manufacture, use, and ultimate disposal.
Green Chemistry intersects with REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization of Chemicals), a regulatory process designed to enhance the understanding and management of chemical substances’ properties for human and environmental safety. REACH, overseen by ECHA (European Chemicals Agency), aligns with the principles of Green Chemistry to promote sustainable practices in the industry. In the textile dyeing sector.
The EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability is a comprehensive framework developed by the European Union to promote the sustainable use and management of chemicals. The strategy focuses on the REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization of Chemicals) process, which aims to enhance the understanding of chemical properties for the protection of human health and the environment. It emphasizes the principles of Green Chemistry, encouraging the adoption of safer alternatives and processes in the industry. The strategy plays a crucial role in ensuring responsible chemical practices, with a particular focus on transparency, innovation, and the pursuit of greener alternatives within the EU.
As a member of the Green Chemistry Platform in Austria, Vienna Textile Lab’s CEO and Founder Dr Karin Fleck is committed to the use of safe chemicals and substances in our process.
