SPEAKER :
Schubert Pereira, ACS GCI Formulator’s Roundtable, Washington, DC, United States
Description
To initiate progress towards informing and influencing suppliers and academia to develop greener alternatives, the ACS GCI Formulator’s Roundtable believed it was imperative to define the top areas for opportunities for greener alternatives as identified from a formulator’s perspective. The components of existing formulated products are considered safe and effective; however, it is the intention of the Roundtable to foster the development of innovative greener components to enhance the overall sustainable profile of formulated products. The list was developed with input from all member companies. It is the hope of the Roundtable that this list of opportunities initiates dialogue, research, and development of renewable and less hazardous alternatives. The Roundtable recognizes this as an opportunity for collaboration where appropriate, for funding where feasible, and for global communication as needed to engage the broader audience in this effort to bring greener alternatives into the marketplace.
