The IKW and its member companies generally welcome the Commission’s proposal to revise the Urban Waste Water Directive (UWWTD). In particular, they support their ambition to protect EU citizens from residues from insufficiently reclaimed water and to better align existing EU legislation on waste water treatment with the objectives of the European Green Deal.

The revision of the Biocidal Products Regulation is an opportunity to address fundamental weaknesses of the current system and to make procedures reliable again. For manufacturers of washing, care and cleaning products, it is particularly important to reduce duplicative regulations and unnecessary administrative burdens to ensure predictability and stable supply.

IKW statement on the revision of the Cosmetic Products Regulation (CPR) The German Cosmetic, Toiletry, Perfumery and Detergent Association (IKW) represents companies that manufacture or distribute beauty care products in Germany. IKW has over 440 member companies with a total annual turnover of 34.6 billion euros. In addition to larger, globally active companies, the vast majority of member companies are SMEs.

The manufacturers of household detergents (“detergents”) represented in the German Association of Household Detergents (IKW) welcome the European Commission’s initiative to simplify and digitise labelling rules.
