Interagency Alternatives Assessment Discussion:

Collaboration around technical feasibility evaluation in alternatives assessment

— Continuing education and dialog — To advance efforts towards informed substitution and the

transition to safer chemicals across federal, state, local and international agencies through networking, sharing of experiences, development of common approaches, tools, datasets, and creation of a community of practice.

Goals

Purpose of this call

• March Interagency Workshop – five specific areas

for next step collaboration:

• Coordinated approaches for chemical ingredient

disclosure/reporting

• Improved economic assessment to support

informed substitution

• Integrating consideration of safer alternatives

into sustainability standards and purchasing

• Developing a roadmap for interagency efforts to

support the transition to safer chemicals

• Advancing coordinated performance evaluation

processes

Background

— Performance assessment is a critical, but often

undervalued part of alternatives assessment processes

— It is a clear challenge to the adoption of safer

alternatives

— Performance evaluation tends to be function/use

specific and hard to generalize

— We will outline the needs for enhanced evaluation of

technical feasibility in alternatives assessment processes and some models for industry/government collaboration around performance testing.

—Paul Yaroschak, DoD —Greg Morose, MA Toxics Use Reduction

Institute Speakers

Discussion Questions

— What are options for enhanced interagency

collaboration in performance evaluation for alternatives to chemicals of concern, including the roles of interagency collaboration in forming testing consortia, conducting actual testing, and establishing joint performance requirements?

— What are next steps to continue this discussion?

— Due to the number of participants on the Webinar, all lines

will be muted.

— If you wish to add to the discussion, please type your

question in the Q&A box located in the control panel on the side of your screen or use the raise hand button and we will unmute your phone

TURI Collaboration Approach

10

• 1. Use of a toxic chemical(s) of concern is pervasive in an industry sector
• 2. Toxic chemical is not used for competitive advantage
• 3. Strong market and/or regulatory drivers to reduce the use of the toxic chemical
• 4. Significant research required to switch to the use of safer alternatives
• 5. Time and cost intensive for companies to individually conduct research
• 6. Independent third party available to manage and coordinate the effort
• 7. Voluntary participation by government, academic, and industry collaborators
• 8. Participants provide either in-kind contributions (production equipment, technical

expertise, materials, supplies, testing, etc.) or direct funding

• 9. Intent of participants is to adopt the safer alternative solutions identified
• 10. All results made public so that other companies can adopt solutions identified
