Hinweis der Redaktion
- Green Chemistry shifts society âs focus from âcradle-to-graveâ to âcradle-to-cradle.â Rather than concentrating only on controlling the consequences of the waste, effluent, and emissions that society generates, green chemistry moves upstreamâwhere the goods and products we use daily are conceived, designed, and manufactured.
- Green Chemistry also offers California substantial benefits: High-skill, high-wage jobs in the new âclean technologyâ and materials industries, Economic growth based on sustainable, green businesses, and Increased share of the estimated $16 trillion global materials market
- And, California can increase its share of the U.S. chemicals market by adopting green chemistry strategies.
- which will grow at a pace faster than global population increases. Worldwide, people are becoming more prosperous and demanding more consumer goods. [Note: MG can tell the âcarpet on the toilet tankâ analogy here if she likesâŠas long as no names, nationalities, or other references are used.]
- By applying Green Chemistry principles, we can implement a more systematic approachâto toxics in productsâthan the current legislative âban without a planâ reaction.
- Many folks who participated in our initiative assumed we were talking about chemical production. The news stories we read every day about dangerous chemicals found in various consumer goodsâchildren âs toys, pet food, toothpaste, etc.âand the legislative âban without a planâ approach prompted our focus on products, especially those products which affect infants and children.
- The marketplace today does not reflect the true cost of a product âs lifecycle. This slide shows the billions of dollars in taxpayer costs required to manage the long-term consequences of goods and products thrown away in the last fifty years. Green Chemistry is a way to reduce and avoid these costs over the next fifty years.
- A few quick slides to give you an idea of the magnitude of three waste streams from our disposable consumer products society.
- After robust dialogue with stakeholders from around the world and across all sectors over the last sixteen months, the Initiative distills all of what we heard into six recommended strategies for California.

- California already has lots of goals to reduce environmental impacts â but they are all single-media focused â moving to a multimedia lifecycle focus means we can start measuring tradeoffs, and allow the market to decide where it can most efficiently get the most environmental gains at least cost
- Many leading companies have such metrics already â Levi Strauss, Patagonia, Nike and Timberland - Walmart is developing similar tools for all its product suppliers
