Policy Options to Support the Use of Green Chemistry Colin Price Research Director Oregon Environmental Council June 9, 2010

What is green chemistry and what are the benefits? Why isn’t it used more? What can we do about it?

Sustainability Life Cycle Thinking Green Chemistry and Engineering Cal/EPA, 2008

Green Chemistry Used to create safer, more efficient chemicals, materials, products and processes

Eliminated over 1.1 billion lbs Reduced nearly 400 million lbs Saved over 21 billion gallons

Why isn’t green chemistry used more?

Technical Assistance Help firms meet environmental objectives Examples: Integration into existing P2 programs, industry dialogues

Market Interventions Using purchasing power to drive market behavior Examples: Environmentally preferable procurement, labeling programs

Regulatory Rules that influence the lifecycle of chemicals Examples: Chemical specific bans, registration and evaluation

Integrated Policy Approach Combination of Policies that Promote Innovation Consider Impacts and Benefits throughout Life cycle
