Sustainable Chemicals & Materials Roundtable
Sleuthing the Supply Chain: Capturing Chemical & Material Conteny

The Horinko Group
Sustainabulletin
February, 2015

On October 22, 2014, The Horinko Group hosted its second Sustainable  
Chemicals & Materials Roundtable. The roundtable comprised a group of  
stakeholders from government, private industry, non-governmental  
organizations, and other interested parties and provided a forum for  
discussion on the opportunities, challenges, and existing efforts  
underway for reporting on chemical and material contents of products  
through working with suppliers.

The roundtable consisted of an introduction by the Department of  
Defense outlining the department’s interest and drive to increased  
sustainability of its systems through the use of informed chemical  
and material content data. Additionally, case study presentations  
were delivered by commercial speakers (Raytheon, Delphi Automotive,  
Hyundai-Kia, and Walmart) representing a wide cross-section of the  
economy, as well as a presentation by the Environmental Protection  
Agency.  Following the presentations, moderated discussion sessions  
were held to further explore the ideas presented.  Proceedings from  
the discussion are now available.
