PANEL 3: Post-2020 Global Chemicals Supply Chains – What will be the drivers for market supply and demand and will chemicals product safety emerge a winner or loser? - Mihai Scumpieru, Manager, Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V. Vice Chair, Japan Business Council in Europe

1. PANEL 3
8 June 2017 (15:45-17:45)
“Post-2020 Global Chemicals Supply Chains”
Mihai Scumpieru
Vice-chair Environment Committee
Japan Business Council in Europe (JBCE)

2. JBCE Mission and Priorities
2
Mission
 Build a bridge between Japan and the EU, enhancing Europe’s understanding of
Japanese companies and their contribution to the European economy
 Contribute to EU public policy by sharing our members’ expertise with decision-
makers across sectors
 Promote a favourable and predictable environment in which Japanese
companies of all sectors can compete for sustainable growth in Europe
Priorities
 We promote open trade and investment
 We encourage a common regulatory framework
 We foster responsible business conduct

3. JBCE members
3
Sector classification is based on the registration to TSE (Tokyo Stock Exchange)
 JBCE’s membership covers the full supply chain (i.e. from chemical substances
producers to DUs)
 DUs come from many sectors e.g. EEE, automotive, HVAC-R, industrial machinery…

Japanese Chemical Substances Control Law (CSCL)

6. Japanese Chemical Substances Control Law (CSCL)
vs. REACH
• Similarities and differences to REACH regulation
Similarities:
Protect human health and environment
Differences:
- Existing chemical substances
CSCL: The government conducts a risk assessment based on
the annual notification and may request additional
toxicity information to the manufactures/importers if
necessary
REACH: EINECS  Registration of all new and old substances
- Articles
CSCL: Out of the scope
REACH: In the scope as “Substances in articles”
- Supply Chain info disclosure/communication
CSCL: Yes (limited)
REACH: Yes

7. Japanese Chemical Substances Control Law
(CSCL)
• Merits
It helped substitute dangerous chemicals, helped
bring safer and innovative products onto the
market.
• Key message
The importance of regulatory harmonisation with
REACH on issues such as testing (e.g. reciprocity
system), definition of risk, restriction/substitution
process

10. “ChemSherpa”-supply chain
communication tool
• Japanese industry devised innovative
communication tool for the supply chain
• Its accuracy could cope with component level
information requirements
Key message
• It helps a faster, more efficient/standardised
communication in the supply chain

11. What are your expectations/needs as DU post-2020?
Needs/expectations of DUs:
• Safer (for humans & environment), reliable and
reusable/recyclable chemicals
Impact of technology on chemical supply chain
• Chemicals will move into ‘nano’ scale and ‘polymers’
• Issue of resource efficiency will be better addressed
Obstacles/challenges
• Lack of communication in the supply chain
• Fragmented regulatory regimes globally (e.g. CSCL vs.
REACH) and within EU (e.g. RoHS/ELV vs. REACH)

12. Synergies in the supply chain:
• There is potential for DUs and upstream
chemical producers to collaborate right from
the R&D stage and develop the most suitable
chemicals for the right application
• This will prevent wasted resources and speed
up the introduction to the market of the
needed chemical products
What are your expectations/needs as DU post-2020?

13. Conclusions
• ‘Drivers’ for market supply & demand post-2020 will
likely be (DU’s perspective):
-sustainability
-energy demand
-demographic changes
• Technological innovation (IoT, AI, big data) will become
the ‘enabler’ but also the ‘disruptor’
• Safety of chemical products will need to be addressed
at the ‘nano’ scale post 2020 and through better
communication/synergies in the supply chain
• Regulatory harmonisation and international
cooperation will be essential to ensure common
standards on safety and reliability of chemicals
