The essence of REACH is to ensure a high level of safety for human health and environment, focused on substances in general and hazardous substances, that are manufactured in EU, imported into EU and used within EU. It is the responsibility of all manufacturers, importers, and users of substances within EU to ensure that the substances they manufacture, import or use do not pose any risk to human health and environment. REACH affects all EU-actors that professionally manufacture, import, sell, buy, distribute, or use chemicals as such and in articles.

PFAS
In December 2021, Abacus Sportswear took a major step towards chemical safety and joined the PFAS Movement - "NO TO PFAS". At Abacus Sportswear, we work according to the precautionary principle, which means that we are aware of and avoid chemicals that can be harmful, but which are not yet banned by law. For this reason, it is natural for us to support ChemSec's work to phase out PFASs and have them banned in the EU.
