When developing new products, consideration is always given to legal and customer requirements, product liability, and environmental, health and safety aspects in the manufacturing phase as well as the user phase where relevant, see the figure. Trelleborg’s Environmental Policy also states that the prudence principle shall be observed and that the company will, as far as possible, reduce and replace hazardous substances and materials in products and processes. These stipulations are in line with work that is ongoing, in consultation with customers, to replace particularly hazardous substances in existing product formulations in accordance with the EU chemical legislation REACH.
Product development is normally conducted in close cooperation with the customer. Trelleborg provides product information in the form of labeling, safety data sheets, IMDS declarations and environmental declarations that meet the requirements set by each customer or market.
Many customers, such as the automotive and construction industries, have specific requirements with regard to a products’ environmental characteristics and components. Industry or customer-specific limitation lists also exist for chemicals.
