Sustainable Products
Clariant is fully committed to the principles of sustainable development in all aspects of production, transport, distribution and use of products and services during their life cycle. As a leader in the chemical industry, Clariant goes beyond legal requirements and participates in several programs including the Global Charter on Responsible Care®.
Independent Testing, Safety Standards and Eco-labels

Our products are tested by independent laboratories such as ISEGA to prove their ecological performance. Many of our products are also compliant with internationally recognized regulations and recommendations (for example, the US Environmental Protection Agency), and with the requirements of several eco-labels such as Blue Angel, Nordic Swan or EU Ecolabel (‘EU Flower’).

Products in line with Food Contact Regulations

Clariant has a range of products which are certified for use in food contact and hygiene applications under the various BfR and FDA regulations.

REACH compliance

Due to our global legislative expertise we are able to provide our customers with a value-added service by ensuring full adherence to new European REACH legislation. Our Product Safety Department coordinates product safety activities within each division and across regions. It operates a central Product Safety laboratory and leads Clariant’s compliance management efforts with regards to European REACH legislation. more >

Product Safety
We assess our products for compliance with health, safety and environmental legislation before they are placed on the market. The assessment considers all stages in the supply chain, including:

  • raw material procurement
  • manufacturing
  • transport
  • use
  • disposal considerations

Information on any hazardous properties for our products, as well as safe handling advice, is contained within material safety data sheets (MSDS) and product labels. Our MSDSs comply with the legislative requirements for the markets in which they are placed.
