Sustainability


Throughout the REACH regulation (law CE n° 1907/2006), the European Parliament requires an information exchange about the use of substances between the different actors of the raw material supply chain, in order to identify their use.

As a distributor, ALTERKEM is part of that chain. We do the necessary to support our clients as regards as the manufacturing processes. Therefore, we can inform our suppliers about their use, and grant the durability of this chain.
