Clean Production Action, located in Spring Brook, NY, designs and delivers strategic solutions for green chemicals, sustainable materials, and environmentally preferable products. The Foundation’s $75,000 grant is supporting two projects: 1) Sustainable Materials for Biobased Plastics and Nanotechnology, and 2) Charting the Road to Green Chemistry: The Green Screen for Safer Chemicals. The first project will finalize a Plastics Scorecard that will provide skeptical manufacturers a way to select more sustainable biobased plastics (the panacea to fossil fuel-based plastics) and avoid hazardous nanomaterials. The second project will support the continued development of a tool that will provide an international standard for defining the path to chemicals that are safer for health and the human environment.
