Aimplas has participated in the creation of Reach Innova, a Centre for information on the Reach Regulation aimed at companies and individuals in the Comunitat Valenciana, which was inaugurated last December 10 in Castellón. This regulation, concerning the registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of substances and chemicals, was approved on December 18, 2006, and has as main objective to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment. Its implementation process is gradual, started in June 2007 and will end in May of 2018.

Due to the number of companies involved and the variety of needs, the Centre Reach Innova is promoted by the Conselleria d'Indústria, Comerç i Innovació de la Generalitat Valenciana as an alliance between companies (through Cierval and their business associations) and the network of technological institutes of Valencia, in particular 11 institutes with greater sectoral guidance.

The work of Aimplas in this initiative is to advise on Reach to all companies in the sector of the plastics, both suppliers of raw materials, and plastics transformers and end users. Such advice will take place for each of the sectors of application of plastic materials (packaging and packaging, automotive, construction, recycling, etc.) and will reach even to consumers of these materials.
