Example Options: Greenxample Options: GreenChemistryhemistry
2-17 Establish regulatory framework that drives green chemistry through
prohibitions, cost structures, etc. (i.e. disincentives for using practices that are
not in agreement with green chemistry principles).2-23 Partner with UC to create an institute for sustainable manufacturing and green
chemistry research.
2-44 Support research, development, technical assistance, entrepreneurial activity,
and education in green chemistry science and technology
2-71 Enable the public to drive green chemistry by providing them with information,
such as through a database with green information
2-93 Companies and industry associations should be encouraged to share best
practices in regards to green chemistry and sustainability including incentivesand barriers. Large companies can mentor small companies.
2-174 Establish a Green Chemistry Coordination Council to collect and promote the
sharing of information, highlight businesses with green practices, provide
assistance to businesses lacking resources, and educate consumers.
