On April 25, 2025, China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) announced the results of the first batch of New Use Environmental Management Registrations in 2025, approving two chemical substances for new use applications. Among these, an application submitted by CIRS Group on behalf of a client was successfully approved. This marks the first time the authority has publicly granted approvals under the "New Use Environmental Management Registration," a specialized regulatory category under China’s new chemical substance management framework.
