Posted on | by martins

On March 12, 2024, a meeting between
participants of the LIFE program project "LIFE
FitforREACH-2 – Chemical Risk Management and
Alternatives Assessment" and representatives of
SIA Balticfloc took place at the Balticfloc
production facility in Cēsis. The purpose of the
meeting was to review the activities carried out so
far within the project and discuss future plans.
Among the participants were representatives of
the Baltic Environmental Forum – Agnese Meija-
Toropova and Valters Toropovs, representatives of
the "Eco-Design Competence Center" – Nameda
Belmane and Dana Mūza, as well as representatives from SIA Balticfloc – Zane Sērmaukša and
Ēriks Nordens.
During the meeting, participants toured the SIA Balticfloc production facility and
familiarized themselves with the results of the company's previously implemented projects.
Balticfloc representatives presented the work completed so far in the LIFE FitforREACH-2
project and reviewed planned activities. With input from experts, the individual project plan,
the initial situation assessment questionnaire, and the list of chemical substitution alternatives
were revisited, providing answers to unresolved questions.
The project's goal is to support small and medium-sized enterprises in Latvia, Lithuania,
Estonia, and Poland that use hazardous chemicals in their products or processes. The project
places great emphasis on improving chemical risk management within companies and replacing
hazardous substances in industrial processes.
The project is financed by the European Union's LIFE program and the Latvian State
Regional Development Agency (VRAA).
