About ChemAgenda

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

ChemAgenda was established in 2018 by Sidsel Dyekjær.

I work with policy analysis and policy development, communication, REACH compliance, substitution and other issues related to chemicals and EU chemicals policy.

In my work 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, combined with 20 years of experience in professional communication to citizens, companies and politicians.
I work closely with Chemsec as senior 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 and related topics.

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.
