About ChemAgenda

ChemAgenda provides advice and information about the EU’s chemicals policy and EU legislation on chemicals in consumer products.

ChemAgenda was established in 2018 by Sidsel Dyekjær

I work with policy analysis, communication and dissemination, REACH compliance and substitution. Focus areas are REACH, food contact materials, circular economy, sustainable development and other issues related to chemicals and chemicals policy.

I place emphasis on helping to protect people and the environment from harmful chemical substances and on high professional quality of analyses and Communication.

I work with NGOs, authorities, knowledge and educational institutions, consultants, and industry organisations.

 

Services

ChemAgenda’s consultancy and service is based on expert knowledge of REACH and EU legislation on chemicals in consumer products, combined with 20 years of experience in professional communication to citizens, companies and politicians.
I work closely with Chemsec as chemicals policy advisor
I work with ECOS as chemicals expert in standardisation and chemicals policies

ChemAgenda provides political and strategic analysis of specific topics within chemicals, environment and health as well as related topics such as circular economy, CSR and sustainability.

What does chemical legislation mean for your organisation?

How do you create an overview of what to know?

If you have questions about REACH, call or write for a quick and non-binding response.

I contribute to information campaigns, teaching, conferences and workshops taking on the role of moderator, presenter and/or coordinator.

 

I have contributed to substitution efforts in Danish companies. I analyse and compare the hazard profiles and legal provisions related to both the original substances and the proposed alternatives.

Essential work to ensure that good alternatives are chosen, and to avoid regrettable substitution.

Earlier projects

Reports and analysis

In 2021,  Chemagenda worked with Help2Comply conducted a Survey and analyses of consumer products with non-nickel coatings for the Danish EPA.

In collaboration with COWI, I have for the Danish Environmental Protection Agency investigated the consequences of various legislative measures on the use of particularly problematic substances in the Nordic region.
