"Framing a Future Chemical Policy" - Workshops

Workshops were a major component of the forum. Workshops were not expected to reach consensus positions, rather they were intended to explore and describe options.

Prior to the meeting, every participant received a copy of an overview paper & a discussion paper for each of the seven workshops:

Overview: The need for a new frame (WORD/108k)

  1. Promotion of innovation, green chemistry and alternative materials (WORD/60k)
  2. Defining and obtaining good quality information for decision making (WORD/60k)
  3. Improving Information Flows – in Supply Chains and Beyond (WORD/80k)
  4. Integration of US and Global chemical initiatives (WORD/80k)
  5. Promotion and development of substitution and alternatives assessment (WORD/68k)
  6. Integrating improved chemicals management into business processes, including product design (WORD/72k)
  7. Improving our understanding of substance flows through the economy (WORD/80k)

Each participant took part in two workshops, one on Thursday and one on Friday. On Friday afternoon, some very initial outcomes of the workshops were presented by the Rapporteurs – these seven presentations have been combined into one presentation. (PPT/228k)

After the meeting, the rapporteurs wrote up summary reports of the workshop discussions:

  1. Promotion of innovation, green chemistry and alternative materials (WORD/50k)
  2. Defining and obtaining good quality information for decision making (WORD/40k)
  3. Improving Information Flows – in Supply Chains and Beyond (WORD/50k)
  4. Integration of US and Global chemical initiatives (WORD/75k)
  5. Promotion and development of substitution and alternatives assessment (WORD/40k)
  6. Integrating improved chemicals management into business processes, including product design (WORD/40k)
  7. Improving our understanding of substance flows through the economy (WORD/40k)
