Perstorp Announces Toxicity Targets to Safeguard Health and Environment

Perstorp strengthened its commitment towards significantly reducing their environmental impact by releasing two new 2030 sustainability targets for (eco) toxicity. The targets intend to ensure that no chemicals of concern reach the consumer or professional market, and that newly developed products are safe and sustainable by design.

In order to reach the long-term ambition of becoming Finite Material Neutral, Perstorp is setting 2030 sustainability targets for the areas with the largest impact. Targets have now been set for (eco) toxicity, which aims to safeguard both human health and the environment.

Perstorp’s new targets are aligned with the EU’s zero pollution ambition in the EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability Towards a Toxic-Free Environment, the EU’s taxonomy regulation and they support the UN Sustainable Development Goals 3, 6 and 12.

Perstorp has set the following (eco) toxic impact targets for 2030:
• No chemicals of concern should reach the consumer or professional market
• Newly developed products should be safe and sustainable by design

“Our new (eco) toxic targets demonstrate our commitment to reducing impact on humans and the environment, and they make our position on toxicity clear to our customers as well as end-customers and consumers,” said Christoffer Paulsson, vice president regulatory affairs. “The targets are now being implemented and will help guide us to establish a more stringent testing, screening and reviewing processes for our products – both existing products and those under development.”
