The Fifth International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM5) concluded on 30 September in Bonn, Germany, by adopting “a comprehensive global framework that sets concrete targets and guidelines for key sectors across the entire lifecycle of chemicals”.
The new Global Framework on Chemicals is based around 28 targets and outlines a roadmap for countries and stakeholders to address the lifecycle of chemicals, including products and waste, collaboratively. It calls, among other things, for the:
* Prevention of the illegal trade and trafficking of chemicals and waste
* Implementation of national legal frameworks. Enhancement of transparency and access to information regarding chemicals and their associated risks.
* Phase-out by 2035 of highly hazardous pesticides in agriculture
* Transition to safer and more sustainable chemical alternatives
* Responsible management of chemicals in various sectors, including industry, agriculture and healthcare
Participants also adopted the Bonn Declaration. Under this, they committed to “prevent exposure to harmful chemicals, and phase out the most harmful ones, where appropriate, and enhance the safe management of such chemicals where they are needed”.
By 2030, it said, the global chemical industry will strive to:
* Provide access to available data on the safety and sustainability of its products, so as to avoid unnecessary duplication of work
* Support 30 countries in implementing chemical management systems
* Guide product portfolios, including processes, toward sustainable solutions

Dibutyl sulfide is an organosulfur. It is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid characterized by a strong sulfur-like odor and is primarily used as an intermediate in chemical synthesis, specialty organic manufacturing, and research applications. The compound exhibits good solvency properties and moderate thermal stability, making it useful in industrial and laboratory processes involving sulfur-containing organic compounds.
Oleylamine is a long-chain (C18) primary fatty amine derived from natural fatty acids, typically sourced from vegetable oils. It is produced from oleic acid through conversion of the carboxylic acid group (–COOH) into an amine group (–NH₂). With its optimal balance of hydrophobic chain length and reactive amine functionality it serves as a versatile and dependable building block for high-performance formulations.
Sodium Hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan known for its exceptional ability to retain moisture, along with its viscoelastic and biocompatible properties, making it highly valuable across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biomedical applications.
