Sustainable Chemistry
Materials such as textiles, leather, plastics, glass, metal, paper, and wood are chemicals. All manufactured consumer products, clothes, shoes, furniture, bags, electronics, cosmetics, cleaning products, and cars are chemical in composition. With a total reliance on chemistry, the chemistry used must be safe and considered to minimise the impact on human and animal life and the ecosystem.
Sustainable chemistry encompasses the design, manufacture, and use of efficient, effective, safe, and more environmentally benign chemical products.

Sustainable chemistry encompasses the design, manufacture, and use of efficient, effective, safe, and more environmentally benign chemical products.
When considering chemicals in supply chains, there are multiple potential impact and concern areas. This would start upstream at the initial chemical manufacturing processes and continue to use chemicals in manufacturing to the consumer use and end of product life either to disposal or into an upstream reuse model.
