SUMMARY:IC2-GC3 Webinar: 5 Things You Can Do to Select Safer Chemicals for Your Company's Product Formulations
DESCRIPTION:Many consumer products brands are implementing innovative steps to manage chemicals in product development and sourcing. These new steps allow you to better understand the human and environmental health characteristics of chemicals present in products and processes. Chemical list screening (regulatory\, preferred\, etc.) can be a useful first step toward flagging problematic or preferred chemicals. But what about chemicals not on lists? How do companies efficiently compare ingredients or formulations to select safer alternatives? \nIn this webinar\, Joe Rinkevich\, the President of Scivera\, presented examples of specific steps companies are taking to objectively compare chemicals and formulations to measure\, improve\, and track selection and use of safer alternatives. These strategies\, when implemented by brands and anticipated by chemical suppliers\, can assist all participants in the consumer products supply chain in finding and selecting preferred chemicals. \nScivera provides software solutions for consumer products brands and their suppliers to make more informed and safer chemicals decisions. Joe Rinkevich leads product development and customer relationships for Scivera drawing on over 20 years of professional experience in the industry. Throughout his career\, Joe has led successful startups and consulted to senior executives on how their business can generate lasting value by integrating environmental and sustainability strategy in all aspects of the enterprise. Without exception\, this work has uncovered the need to empower professionals across many organizational functions with the reliable\, cost-effective resources to make proactive decisions about product improvement\, supplier relationships and product life cycle development. In addition to having worked with a range of corporations like Dell\, Nike\, Walmart\, General Motors and DuPont\, Joe also supports government and intergovernmental efforts on environment and sustainability as well as speaking and teaching at several universities and annual conferences. \n \nDownload the Slides [PDF]

SUMMARY:IC2 Webinar: Automotive Chemical Management and the IMDS
DESCRIPTION:James Lundström\, Director of Regulatory Affairs for Volvo Car Corporation\, described the evolution and use of the worldwide automobile industry’s shared material data system\, the International Material Data System (IMDS). \nThe IMDS was originally a joint development of Audi\, BMW\, Daimler\, HPE\, Ford\, Opel\, Porsche\, VW\, and Volvo. Additional manufacturers have since joined the community\, and IMDS has become a global standard used by almost all of the global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). In the IMDS\, all materials used for automobile manufacturing are collected\, maintained\, analysed\, and archived. Using the IMDS\, it is possible to meet the obligations placed on automobile manufacturers\, and thus on their suppliers\, by national and international standards\, laws\, and regulations.

SUMMARY:IC2 Webinar: Walmart and the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) on Chemical Ingredient Disclosure
DESCRIPTION:Retailers need detailed information to handle chemical products safely in accordance with various regulations promulgated by federal agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)\, U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)\, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)\, as well as similar regulations promulgated by various agencies at a state level. The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) led a multi-stakeholder project to develop GS1 data standards for regulatory attributes of formulated products. In this webinar\, Sue Pifer\, RILA’s Vice President of Compliance\, provided an overview of the project from inception to the current pilot\, including the challenges from a project management perspective—for example\, building a data map to clarify the roles and responsibilities for the envisioned data streams. In addition\, Ashley C. Hall\, Senior Manager of Sustainability for Walmart Stores Inc.\, provided an overview of the process Walmart uses to manage information with UL/Wercs and monitor progress on high priority chemical reduction. Walmart’s policy on sustainable chemistry in consumables\, launched in 2013\, seeks to remove substances of high concern from goods such as personal care\, paper\, cleaning\, pet\, and baby products. The policy also addresses transparency and disclosure as well as a commitment to the U.S. EPA Safer Choice program for Walmart’s private brand products.

SUMMARY:IC2 Webinar: Evaluation of the IC2 Alternatives Assessment Guide
DESCRIPTION:In January 2014\, the IC2 published the IC2 Alternatives Assessment Guide (the Guide) to assist member states in conducting alternatives assessments. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the Guide\, the IC2 initiated a project to conduct alternatives assessments using the three frameworks described in the Guide. Using data provided by the U.S. EPA and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control on alternatives to copper boat paint\, a contractor created a uniform data set evaluating hazard\, performance\, cost and availability\, and exposure for several alternatives to copper boat paint. This data set was used to conduct three\, independent alternatives assessments using each of the frameworks described in the Guide. The objective of this exercise\, however\, was to evaluate the Guide and not to conduct an alternatives assessment of copper boat paint. In this webinar\, Dr. Alex Stone (Washington State Department of Ecology) and Dr. Margaret Whittaker (ToxServices LLC) presented the results of this evaluation project and described recommendations to improve the effectiveness of the Guide and the ability of users to conduct an alternatives assessment. \nWebinar Recording

SUMMARY:IC2 Webinar: GreenScreen® Assessments of Flame Retardants
DESCRIPTION:Earlier this year\, the IC2 added GreenScreen® hazard assessments of 18 flame retardants to the Chemical Hazard Assessment Database. These GreenScreens derive from hazard assessments done by EPA’s Design for the Environment Program (DfE). In this webinar\, Lauren Heine\, Clean Production Action’s Co-Director for GreenScreen and Applied Science (and co-author of the GreenScreen for Safer Chemicals) and toxicologist Eric Rosenblum\, who did much of the work to translate DfE’s hazard assessments into GreenScreens\, will focus on one or two examples to provide an overview of the GreenScreen methodology and discuss the translation process from DfE hazard assessment to GreenScreen.

SUMMARY:IC2 Webinar: Chemical Use Disclosure
DESCRIPTION:For a number of years\, companies and advocates have been calling for greater transparency in the information available on the use of chemicals in products. In response\, some state environmental agencies have begun to require reporting on chemical use in certain products and to publish the available data. The IC2 held a “Chemical Use Disclosure” webinar to kick-off a series of discussions designed to help shape the future of these information resources. It featured presentations on: \n\nThe newly released Washington Department of Ecology system for searching for information collected from manufacturers on the use of about 60 chemicals of high concern in children’s products; and\nThe Interstate Mercury Education and Reduction Clearinghouse (IMERC) database covering the intentional use of mercury in products.\n\nThe IC2 has posted a PDF version of the presentation and made a video of the webinar and follow-up discussion available on NEWMOA’s YouTube channel. \nThis initiative is made possible with funding support from the John Merck Fund and participation from BizNGO and the GC3.
