Briefly, to provide information about REACH; REACH is a new directive designed to record and control chemical substances and mixtures. In this way, the EU will have the opportunity to record chemical substances and mixtures produced in its territory or imported into its territory in a more reliable way. Turkish companies exporting chemical substances and mixtures to the EU will face the risk of not being able to export again if they do not register the properties and quantities of the chemicals they export by the specified dates. Not being able to export means loss of profit in the micro sense and loss of national income in the macro sense. Therefore; we cannot delay even if we want to. As we said at the beginning; there is no time or place for delays. After providing information about REACH and stating its importance, let's now take a look at what it means in terms of logistics. To do this, it is necessary to first consider the supply chain as a whole. Because the inspections to be carried out on the properties of chemicals thanks to REACH will also affect the arrangements to be made with MSDS forms, which are the beginning of the hazardous substance logistics process and inform the supply chain elements during the transfer of hazardous substances throughout the supply chain. With REACH, the information within the scope of MSDS will be expanded. On the other hand; with the entry into force of REACH, the current directive on labeling, packaging and marking of hazardous chemicals and mixtures will be renewed and a directive (CLP) based on GHS (Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals), which is one of the systems that also form the basis of UN recommendations for the transportation of hazardous substances in various modes, will come into force. Thus, arrangements will be made regarding important logistics functions such as labeling and packaging. In terms of logistics, another reflection of REACH will of course be related to the increases or decreases in transportation, especially in terms of foreign trade volume. As we have said before, delays in implementation will first negatively affect our foreign trade and then our transportation volumes. As a result; On the one hand, what needs to be done when it comes to hazardous materials, and on the other hand, as we always say, we need to take solid steps. This can only happen through awareness first…
