5. Concurrent Strategies for Greening Chemical Inventories

6. From WalMart

7. Wal-Mart’s Approach APPROACH – In line with Wal-Mart’s sustainability initiatives, Wal-Mart is developing a screening tool that will assist buyers with an easy to use yet powerful tool that will allow them to make more informed decisions in selecting products. Products are scored based on chemical constituent hazards Buyers will be able to compare products in the same class based in ingredients in the formulations TOOL DESIGN – INPUT OPTIONS Full chemical disclosure of product information is input into secure database, managed by a third party – Preferred vendors may be allowed leeway on disclosure – There is a project underway to integrate this approach globally (GDSN) – OUTPUT OPTIONS Chemical constituents are screened for: – CMRs – PBTs, vPvBs – Endocrine disruptors – Neurotoxicants – Watch list chemicals

8. Inspired by IHS Dolphin EcoAnalysis and Comparison Tools

9. Approaches for Inputs MSDS input – Publicly available, by law – Can be incomplete and inaccurate – BUT – screening is still worthwhile You may be surprised at what you find! Can be a driver for improvement Can bump up the disclosure later if needed Full ingredient disclosure – More complete and presumably accurate – Formulations change and must be updated – Some constituents are at low concentrations (weighting?) – Supplier resistance Confidentiality is of highest concern Yet desire to have one central place to input and update information – Engaging a 3 rd party to screen against desired criteria protects confidentiality and adds some cost

10. Identifying Safer Alternatives: USEPA DfE Flame Retardancy Partnerships: Furniture Foam (pentaBDE) and Printed Circuit Boards (TBBPA) Comparing emissions from combustion testing

11. Identifying Safer Alternatives: Clean Production Action’s Green Screen for Safer Chemicals v1.0: Benchmarks

12. US EPA DfE Formulator Program: Environmentally Preferable Cleaning Products

13. #1 DfE Question: Where Can I Find a List of Safer Ingredients?

14. A database of Industrial & Institutional (I&I) cleaning product ingredients and their characteristics* to: – help formulators identify ingredients that may be useful for green product formulation – provide opportunity for raw material suppliers to showcase their ingredients with especially positive environmental and/or human health and safety attributes * By characteristics we mean functional properties such as critical micelle concentration, physical properties such as biodegradability, and associated human and environmental health toxicological information.

37. King County Dolphin Pilot Project December, 2008 Larry Brown

38. Dolphin Pilot Project November 2007 to December 2008 Project Outline: Planning phase Chemical inventory Software testing phase Evaluation phase

39. Why Did We Do Project? Heard about Dolphin System Moved to new building a noticed cleaning chemicals Invited to participate in conference call Project combined chemical inventory and testing of Dolphin software system

40. Planning Phase Stakeholder meeting Small scale project Two buildings Project funding by three agencies Local Hazardous Waste Management Program in King County Washington State Department of Ecology King County Facilities Management Division

41. Pilot Project Objectives LHWMP use on a larger scale and willing to recommend to other agencies Is the system useful for: Employee Safety and Right to Know Green Purchasing LEED Individual Product Review Life Cycle Thinking Building vs. Department

42. Software Tested Dolphin RTK Dolphin GPS Dolphin GPS:Vision (limited testing)

43. Chemical Inventory Two Buildings, 90,000 and 72,000 SQ FT Tenant notification and site guide Common areas and cubicles All MRO chemicals One full day for each building

44. Software Testing Phase Training for staff Web training kick-off meeting Weekly conference call Training scenarios for RTK and GPS Individual work location consultation

45. Software Testing Phase Staff included in testing opportunity Purchasing agents Janitorial Building superintendents EPP LEED LHWMP technical staff

46. Chemical Inventory Results 384 unique products MSDS found in Dolphin master database for 59% of products “New” MSDS required for 41% of products By end of pilot, no MSDS available for 16% of products

47. More Chemical Inventory Results 24% Cleaning chemicals 6% Disinfectants 3M Desk & Office Cleaner found at 21 locations 10 different glass cleaners 14 products contain 2-Butoxyethanol 27 products contained ingredients on the California Proposition 65 regulatory list

48. Conclusions Regarding Potential Uses  Employee Safety and Right to Know  Green Purchasing  LEED  Individual Product Review  Life Cycle Thinking  Building vs. Department

49. Lessons Learned You can bring a horse to water but you can’t make it drink System is only as good as the data Commercial vs. Office Product worlds People might draw conclusions based on limited information Verbal comments didn’t fall on deaf ears
