A new regulation targeted at the use of toxic chemicals in consumer products will be released by California, in an effort to continue environmental reform. The new system will urge manufacturers, importers, and retailers to discontinue the use of some chemicals. A list of about 3,000 “chemicals of concern” is expected to be released this year.
Speaking on The Green Chemistry regulations, Peter Hsiao, head of Morrison & Foerster’s Environment and Energy Group in Los Angeles says, “The regulation of toxic chemicals in consumer products is probably the most important environmental regulation that will come out in the U.S. this year.” These regulations are likely to bring a change in the value chain of producers of household products like toys, cleaning items, and personal care products. He added, “This will affect a manufacturer’s global supply chain, who they procure from, how they do quality control, everything.”
A Morrison & Foerster partner, William Tarantino who focuses on environmental and consumer protection law says that the EU had reached out to California because of concern that California regulations could impact global trade. “California has an opportunity to be the first state in the U.S. to develop a science-based sustainable program, and it is critical that California coordinate that effort with countries that are farther along than we are. Nobody wants this program to be an only-in-California phenomenon,” he said.
The current federal statute that regulates toxic chemicals in consumer goods in the U.S. is outdated, and the U.S. EPA has entered a memorandum of support. Soon California would ban, limit use or require substitution of certain chemicals and violators may be fined or included on a failure-to-comply list. Hsaio adds that California companies should begin auditing their products that include chemicals likely to be targeted by the state and prepare to negotiate with regulators about requirements and exemptions.
At the LATAM Surfactants HPC Markets in Mexico on 27-28 June, Dr. Steven Bennett, Director, Scientific Affairs from Consumer Specialty Products Association (CSPA) will present an overview of the California Safer Consumer Products regulation in the session entitled “California Green Chemistry and its Impact on the Consumer Product Industry”.

It was clear that the expanding Mexican middle class were drivers for mid-range beauty and personal care products, resulting in an increased value of sales in mature product categories. As purchasing power rises, customers who were buying economy brands of shampoos and soap bars are now seeking advanced formulations. Even less mature categories, such as sun care, are among the regular purchases in households that could not afford these products earlier. Due to the expansion of the middle class, companies that increased their mid-range products in 2011 were able to reap the benefits. Even some premium brands have been able to reach a less affluent customer base, as their products, in less expensive, smaller packages are available in supermarkets/hypermarkets.
Companies in the beauty and personal care industry are now targeting Mexican men, as surveys showed they were increasingly concerned about their physical appearance and health. The products are designed specifically for men, as are the advertising campaigns. As companies capitalize on this trend, more male-targeted products are expected to be produced.
International brands, with their mass media advertising and lower production costs were able to dominate the industry with over 70% total value share in 2011, as against various domestic products. There was little growth for Mexican producers in 2011, except for a few select domestic producers with all natural-ingredients. But most domestic producers manufacture economy products that compete on price.
By creating products specialised for particular consumers, the segmented market achieved growth in both value and sales in 2011. As companies gradually implement the innovative developments in surfactants commercialization, the LATAM Surfactants HPC Markets in Mexico City on 27-28 June will examine the industrial developments in Latin and Central America. Mr. Lic Carlos R. Berzunza Sanchez, General Manager of CANIPEC will discuss market size, emerging trends and much more in his paper on “Personal Care Market Outlook in Mexico”.

Unilever’s CEO Paul Polman unveiled plans to build production and distribution facilities in Colombia that will help drive sustainable growth for the company in the fast-growing developing and emerging markets.
In response to the increasing demand for laundry products in various parts of Latin America, Unilever will invest €75 million to build and develop a brand new, state-of-the art laundry detergents factory and distribution complex at Palmira, Valle del Cauca, over the next 3 years. Twenty or more factories are in the pipeline as a part of an investment programme to leverage the company’s position in developing and emerging markets.
New capacities for Home Care, Personal Care, Refreshment and Foods categories are already being constructed in various emerging market countries. “Our business in Latin America makes up a significant proportion of the 54% that Unilever currently generates from emerging markets, a figure that we expect to rise significantly in the future. We are excited by the enormous possibilities these markets offer and more investments will undoubtedly follow,” stated Pier Luigi Sigismondi, Unilever’s Chief Supply Chain Officer.
Insight into the growth and development of emerging markets across Latin America, and an in-depth analysis of the personal and home care markets in Colombia are among the key topics that will be addressed at theLATAM Surfactants HPC Markets to be held in Mexico City on 27-28 June 2012.
