Society of Toxicology 2020 Recorded Session:

A Toxicologist’s Primer on Alternatives Assessments for Green Product Design

 

With the cancellation of the 2020 Society of Toxicology (SOT) Meeting, Gradient’s hosted session on Alternatives Assessment has been recorded and made available through the SOT 2020 website.  The recorded webinar is free and lasts one hour.

Alternatives assessment (AA) is an increasingly attractive approach for responding to intersecting pressures from consumers, regulators, and supply chain managers to explore the possible elimination or replacement of chemicals of concern due to their inherent hazard. This session discusses various AA schemes, lessons learned, and the latest on consumer product regulations that involve AA.  This session will discuss the variety of available AA frameworks and their application in various contexts, regulatory and otherwise. Participants will learn techniques and strategies for incorporating toxicology data into AA decision making, with the goal of regulatory compliance, avoiding regrettable substitutions, and green product design.
