Europe’s lubricant industry is at a crossroads as regulations tighten under the EU Green Deal and REACH. What once was a compliance hurdle is now a catalyst for innovation—pushing manufacturers to develop cleaner, more sustainable products. Those who move fast and adapt stand to lead the next generation of lubricants, while others risk being left behind in an increasingly eco-conscious market.
Secure your early bird ticket at ACI’s European Base Oils & Lubricants Summit taking place on 26th & 27th November in Valencia, Spain and hear from Dr. Stephan Baumgärtel, CEO from Verband Schmierstoff Industrie deliver his presentation, titled: “Current and future regulatory landscape for lubricant manufacturers in Europe: Opportunities and risks”
Stephan’s case study will be focusing on:
• EU Economy: New Challenges ahead
• REACH Review: can we expect a simplified regulation for chemicals used in lubricants?
• CLP (GHS): Labelling and packaging: some new aspects for the lubricant industry.
• EUDR: What will be the impact of the deforestation regulation on biobased materials?
• ESPR: Ecodesign requirements ahead: new challenges for formlators?
