Safety and Advantages for Your Products

We take care of challenging product requirements with professional aptitude. We extract the environmental benefits of your products from the bare facts you provide us.

We will register your substance in accordance with the European Union REACH Regulation and we will assist you in all your chemical requirements. REACH is an acronym for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals.

Ecobio provides consultancy, training and modelling services related to the handling of chemical substances in the European Union. Our office in Finland is located next door to the European Chemicals Agency, ECHA, and therefore Ecobio’s consultants are ECHA trained in registration requirements and processes.

Discover our versatile services and contact our experts. We are happy to discuss any of the above issues with you in more detail.
