10 June End of the trilogue negotiations on the Detergents and Cleaning Agents Act!

The trilogue negotiations on the Detergents and Cleaning Agents Act came to an end today. The result brings progress for more sustainability and consumer protection on the European market. Particularly noteworthy is:

1. better biodegradability of products, especially for detergent capsules
2. Better labeling and transparency: In future, consumers will benefit from clear labels that must also indicate allergenic fragrances
3. Better animal protection: No animal testing for new products. Only animal-free methods may be used.

We have also agreed on an early impact assessment on new phosphorus limits in household products.

A compromise to promote sustainability and innovation in the European detergents and cleaning products market!
