Substitution of hazardous substances is a prioritised objective
in chemical regulation and risk management. However, it is
experienced as a tough task with often inconsistent results. Based
on thirteen case studies, this book analyzes substitution as an
innovation process and attempts to give answers to the following
questions: Why and under which circumstances are companies able and
willing to substitute hazardous substances? What are the main
drivers and the main barriers? In which way can communication along
the supply chain support environmental innovation? How can risk
management appropriately deal with the lack of knowledge, with
uncertainties and incomplete knowledge about the possible effects
of different substances? Recommendations for action are provided
for commercial and state institutions and consumers and thus for
all actors engaged in the European reform of chemicals policy
following the REACH system.
