Developed in partnership with the Global Electronics Association, this guide supports the electronics sector in seeking safer alternatives by increasing knowledge and enhancing resource sharing for stakeholders throughout the supply chain.
Network members developed an Alternatives Assessment Guide — a concise, high-level guide for identifying and evaluating potential substitutions for Chemicals of High Concern used in electronics manufacturing processes. The tool is intended to allow companies to thoroughly assess and implement safer alternatives to identified Chemicals of High Concern, while avoiding regrettable substitutions. A safer alternative may include a chemical substitute or a change in materials or design that eliminates the need for a chemical alternative.
