| Popis: | Green chemistry (GC) has seen significant growth, driven by cost savings, regulation, and customer demand. At the same time, this growth has been slow and uneven. While large companies in developed markets have for the most part implemented GC strategies, this is not the case for smaller companies and manufacturers in developing countries such as China and India. Many of the barriers reported earlier remain today and include lack of policy incentives, insufficient funding and expertise in GC, lack of green solutions for some processes, and lack of effective metrics to track GC impacts. Advancing global adoption of GC along the entire supply chain requires more radical actions including smarter and globally coordinated regulations, restructuring of current markets, supporting greater consumer awareness and demand for green products, investment in GC training and application, and a means to assess the global impact of GC implementation on environmental performance over time. |
