The compilation with these regulations becomes difficult for large chemical companies due to lack of regulatory harmonization. For importing or manufacturing the same chemical in different countries, a chemical company has to follow different procedures. Due to this, these laws are facing stiff resistance from industries. The chemical industry specific regulation list is long. Some of the important regulations and their requirements are: REACh, WEEE, RoHS, GHG management, UN framework for a globally harmonized system of classification and labeling (GHS).
Chemical sector can reduce the burden in complying with different environment regulations by following below mentioned some essential steps:

- Do assessment of risks and dangers posed by your chemicals on to the human health and environment.
- Adopt the new non-biological techniques for predicting the toxicity of chemicals rather than biological models. This step prevents unnecessary animal testing at the same time it is economical as well.
- Choose environmental friendly manufacturing techniques.
- Adopt “green chemistry” and generate new ways to make your products eco-friendly.
- Keep track of all the latest changes in the environmental regulatory field.
The best advice is still the simplest - comply fully as soon as possible. To do otherwise can harm your business and the environment.
