Toxicity 101 for Early-Stage Investors
The document explains that many everyday products contain hazardous chemicals that create risks for health, the environment, and businesses, emphasizing that uncovering the risks and liabilities of these materials should be a standard part of due diligence, and it provides suggestions on how to incorporate safer chemistry into that process while encouraging a shift toward safer alternatives in response to growing regulations and consumer demand.
Incentivizing Sustainable Chemicals: A Policy Roadmap for Innovation, Manufacturing, and Market Transformation
On April 22, Change Chemistry and the Sustainable Chemistry Catalyst at UMass Lowell will publish Incentivizing Sustainable Chemicals: A Policy Roadmap for Innovation, Manufacturing, and Market Transformation. Based on a yearlong working group of US and EU companies across sectors and the full value chain, the report identifies policy incentives governments can deploy to accelerate innovation, commercialization, and adoption of sustainable chemistry at scale.
This webinar will present the report’s findings, including:
