Taking Care Of resources Our Research and Development Depar tment works to find different alternatives for product development that, in addition to meeting quality standards, are also more sustainable. In 2020, we invested $1.000.000 in researching greener compounds and products . Proof of this is shown in that: • All products sold in Europe comply with the REACH regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals), RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), which manages the use of chemical substances and their potential impact on both human health and the environment. • All products sold in the United States comply with the standards of the California’s Proposition 65, which regulate the use of chemical substances and their potential impact on the environment and human health respectively.
