As of January 23, 2024, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) expanded its Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) to a total of 240 SVHCs. Five new SVHCs have been added to the list and these substances are commonly found in products such as inks, toners, adhesives, sealants and washing and cleaning products. In response to this update, Leo has taken proactive measures to effectively control the presence of these SVHCs.
