In particular, the EU Green Deal presents the chemical industry in Europe with major challenges and huge investments necessary to realise a climate transition to sustainable chemicals whilst adapting to changing legislative measures and a circular economy by 2050. In this scenario, Chemspec Europe reconfirms its place as a stepping stone in the market to allow the exchange of knowledge within the international fine and speciality chemicals community and support the sector in finding the right suppliers to keep up-to-date with this fast-evolving industry”.
