From Safer Chemistry to Cleaner Manufacturing: Connecting Chemical, Water and Air

Exploring how safer chemical choices can drive improvements beyond chemical management, influencing water quality, air emissions and overall manufacturing performance. The discussion will examine the interconnections between chemical inputs, production processes and environmental outcomes, and how an integrated approach can help manufacturers move towards cleaner, safer and more resource-efficient operations

Safer Chemistry: Who Is Responsible for Driving Change?

Explores the evolving responsibilities of brands, suppliers, formulators and solution providers in advancing safer chemistry. As safer chemistry cannot be achieved by one stakeholder alone, the panel will debate ownership, accountability, innovation and collaboration needed to drive industry-wide change and make safer chemistry mainstream.

Case Studies

1. Selecting Safer Alternative Chemicals Without Increasing Production Costs

2. ZDHC Implementation to Business Value: Strengthening Customer Recognition and Market Opportunities

3. Improving Wastewater Quality Performance through Safer ETP Chemical Selection

Turning Supplier to Zero v2.0 into Actionable Manufacturing Improvement

Takes a practical look at the lessons emerging from the Supplier to Zero V2.0 pilot, bringing together supplier and solution-provider perspectives. The panel will explore what suppliers need to prepare, where they commonly face challenges and how to turn the new framework into a roadmap for continuous improvement.
