Foam materials form not only the foundation of comfort and innovation in the mattress industry, but also the basis of product safety, traceability, and competitive sustainability. With the entry into force of the European Union’s General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR, 2023/988/EU) on December 13, 2024, every mattress and its components placed on the market must now have a holistic and scientifically proven safety profile.

The chemical industry bears a critical responsibility for managing the potential impacts of its products on human health and the environment throughout their life cycle. Within this scope, the safe use of chemicals and effective risk management are not only legal obligations but also essential ethical responsibilities. Safety Data Sheets (SDS), constitute one of the key instruments in this process. However, in specific cases, the requirement for an Extended Safety Data Sheet (e-SDS) may arise. This article explores what an e-SDS entails, the circumstances under which it becomes mandatory, the structure and content of Exposure Scenarios, the implementation of these requirements under Türkiye’s Regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (KKDIK) [1], as well as practical examples from the chemical industry and common mistakes encountered during the preparation process.

In the first part of our article series on hydrogen energy, we focused on the question of why hydrogen as an energy carrier and demonstrated that, thanks to its superior properties as an energy carrier, hydrogen is one of the strongest candidates for building a fossil fuel-free and carbon emission-free sustainable future. However, as with all good things, we also mentioned the ongoing technological challenges in a hydrogen-based energy economy. In this second part of the series, we will discuss the difficulties in the widespread use of hydrogen as an energy carrier in our daily life applications and possible solutions.

Adhesives used in footwear manufacturing do not merely serve to bond two materials together; they directly impact the product’s durability, flexibility, and visual integrity. Although solvent-based adhesive systems, which have been widely used for years, offer important advantages such as strong adhesion and rapid drying, they are increasingly becoming restrictive in both environmental and operational aspects due to their high VOC (volatile organic compound) content, flammability risks, and toxic vapor emissions.
