  1. Introduction to the workshops Dr A. Michael WarhurstLowell Center for Sustainable Production

  2. Aim of workshops • To discuss key aspects of sustainable chemicals management • To focus on solutions, through identification of options for possible future discussion and investigation

  3. Structure of workshops • Each workshop has a background paper, which will be presented briefly by the author • The background papers are views of the author, they are not comprehensive reviews of the issue • The papers are intended to start the discussion in the workshops, and pose some key questions • The author will usually be the rapporteur • A facilitator will ensure that: • All participants are able to contribute to the discussion • The discussion stays focussed on solutions, and generates options • A note taker will record key elements of the discussion

  4. Outcome of workshops • Workshops are not expected to reach consensus, but we hope that they will discuss a number of options • Some options might be mutually exclusive, others might be best done together • Not everyone will support every option • Reporting of the workshops: • Comments will not be attributed to individuals - “Chatham House Rules” • Facilitator, rapporteur and note takers will collaborate to ensure the workshop is reported fairly and accurately • A short summary of the discussion will be presented by the rapporteur on Friday afternoon • A workshop summary will be written up after the meeting, and published on the LCSP web site

  5. List of workshops • Promotion of innovation, green chemistry and alternative materials • Defining and obtaining good quality information for decision making • Improving Information Flows – in Supply Chains and Beyond • Integration of US and Global chemical initiatives. • Promotion and development of substitution and alternatives assessment • Integrating improved chemicals management into business processes, including product design • Improving our understanding of substance flows through the economy
