Chemical restrictions
To protect our customers, production, employees and the environment, By Malene Birger set clear guidelines on the permissibility of certain substances. We are committed to minimizing the use of harmful chemicals in the production of our products to protect the environment, employees and the consumer. To ensure that our policies are enforced throughout the value chain, we regularly check and test our products according to REACH and our own RSL (Restricted Substance List), which for certain chemicals exceed REACH requirements. The RSL is always up-to-date according to the latest legislation.
To ensure that our products live up to our chemical restrictions, we conduct risk assessments on all collections, based on high-risk articles, high volumes and supplier history. To keep up-to-date with the regulations, we collaborate with partners such as the Swedish Chemical Group, which is part of the Swedish research institute Rise. Via this membership, we have access to chemical expertise and hands-on tools for continuous chemical compliance. The collaboration also gives us access to a network of companies with extensive knowledge in chemical management. For chemical testing, we collaborate with MTS Global Testing Lab. MTS supplies us with technical expertise and industry best practices regarding chemical compliance management.
