The 5th Sustainable Home Care Products Forum in Amsterdam offered an invaluable platform for the home care sector to exchange on innovative solutions, best practices, and the challenges our industry continues to navigate as we accelerate the transition to more sustainable cleaning products and regulatory compliance.

A.I.S.E. played a leading role throughout the event, contributing expertise and fostering dialogue across several key sessions:

• Julie Janssis, Head of Scientific & Regulatory Affairs at A.I.S.E., moderated the panel where representatives from DG GROW and industry had a timely discussion on evolving chemical and product legislation including Detergents Regulation and Ecolabels.
• Majlinda Cobaj, Senior Sustainability Manager, contributed to the panel discussions sharing insights on how policy, sustainability, and innovation intersect in today's regulatory landscape.
• Marta Siddu, Senior Scientific and Regulatory Affairs Manager, delivered a substantive presentation unpacking the EU regulatory developments shaping our sector such as the chemicals omnibus and CLP.

Beyond regulatory insights, the Forum provided a great opportunity for stakeholders to:

• Discover innovative sustainability solutions emerging across the value chain
• Exchange best practices on innovative solutions, greener formulations and packaging circularity
• Discuss shared challenges, from regulatory complexity to market expectations, and how value chain collaboration remains key to overcoming them

The discussions reinforced the importance of collective action: industry, regulators and associations working hand-in-hand to build a future where sustainable cleaning solutions are the norm, not the exception.
