Join Eurofins | BLC and Eurofins | AQM for a FREE technical seminar on Addressing the Challenges of Chemical Management in the Leather and Textile Industry, to be held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands on 22nd November 2019. This morning seminar will be held at Impact Hub, Linnaeusstraat 2C, 1092 CK, Amsterdam from 09:00 – 13:00.

Learning how to better control the factories’ practices in terms of chemical management and the elimination of hazardous substances from the supply chain is arguably one of the most critical challenges facing brands and retailers. This half-day event organised by Eurofins | BLC and Eurofins | AQM will help you better understand how to tackle these issues.

Eurofins | AQM will provide an overview of the challenges factories are facing regarding the use of hazardous chemicals and the solutions for a proper chemical management system, whilst Eurofins | BLC will discuss how brands and retailers can implement robust chemical management systems and ultimately minimise their risk around hazardous chemistry.

Chemical management and supply chain experts from both Eurofins | BLC and Eurofins | AQM will deliver an engaging agenda designed for brands, retailers and manufacturers within the leather and textiles supply chain:
