Making REACH Part of Innovation: Key Messages from Graphene Week 2026
As graphene and other advanced 2D materials move towards industrial applications, regulatory readiness is becoming an essential part of successful innovation. At Graphene Week 2026, a dedicated REACH Workshop brought together regulators, industry representatives and researchers to explore the challenges companies face in navigating REACH requirements and identify ways to support a smoother path from research to commercialisation. The discussions underlined the importance of early preparation, reliable data and collaboration in ensuring that regulatory considerations keep pace with technological development.
