Challenges and responses to communication of chemicals in products through the supply chain

Abstract

As a goal for beyond-2020 following the WSSD 2020 goal, it is expected that information communication throughout the life cycle of chemicals in product will become increasingly important. On the other hand, the information on the chemicals in product is often confidential business information, and disclosure of all chemicals in product can threaten the survival of the company. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the chemicals whose names should be disclosed based on the scientific basis.
