Procurement for a non-toxic environment

MSR is working with a variety of efforts for a Non-Toxic Environment:

• Strategically by establishing a comprehensive chemicals policy and strategy.
• In every-day work when developing purchasing criteria where concrete phase-out requirements are part of the criteria.
• To encourage environmental innovation in the chemicals sector, MSR works with spear-head criteria and with the National substitution group within the County Councils. 

We currently have requirements for phasing out and reducing hazardous chemicals in the following product areas:

• Batteries
• Tires
• IT products
• Chemical-technical products
• Food
• Packaging
• Medical equipment with consumables
• Furniture
• Paper products
• Healthcare supplies
• Textiles and leather
• Laundry and textile service
