What
and Why Global Product Stewardship
Global Product Stewardship program has various
meanings and elements. Young & Global Partners
understand specific needs of each industry group and
individual companies.
|
Industry |
Approach |
|
Chemicals |
Consolidation and
standardization of environment, health and
safety regulatory data on products.
Compliance with the requirements on the
provision of material safety data sheets
(MSDS) and chemical classification and
labeling in line with the UN Globally
Harmonized System on Classification and
Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). |
|
Electronics |
Ensuring non-use of
hazardous substances in electronics and
compliance with material restriction,
elimination of ozone depleting substances in
processes, take-back, reuse, recycling of
electronic hardware and solid waste. Further
improvement in design processes,
manufacturing processes, and site operations
to find areas. |
|
Retailers |
Need and right to know
about chemical-containing products from
suppliers. Consumer product categories that
are impacted are broad. Wal Mart requires
formulators to provide environmental and
regulatory data to a third-party system to
review and ensure their policies are
satisfied. |
|
Pesticides |
Prevention of any delays
in regulatory approvals and ensuring launch
of new technology products. Proactive
product stewardship at planning, process and
operation stages. |
