Chemical manufacturing is the #1 export for both Pennsylvania and Delaware; therefore, REACH is an "essential topic" for you! REACH will affect all global supply chains that produce and use chemicals. U.S. exporters to Europe should carefully consider this proposed piece of EU environmental legislation.

The European Union’s 27 Member States have agreed to adopt a major reform of the EU’s chemicals policy that will affect producers of these chemicals and manufacturers of products that incorporate these chemicals. The new chemicals policy is called REACH: Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals, and it will affect a broad spectrum of U.S. companies across industry sectors (industrial chemicals, cosmetics, cleaning products, etc.).
