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.
