Costco strengthens enforcement of its chemical substance management policy.

2017-12-06

Costco, a well-known American chain of wholesale retailers, announced a partnership with the Berkeley Center for Green Chemistry (BCGC) to advance its chemical substance management policy. Earlier this year (2017), Costco also announced a hazardous substance screening project to test and evaluate chemicals in its products, but the announcement did not specify which hazardous chemicals would be targeted. According to the latest news on Costco's website, the new chemical substance management policy will not be limited to compliance with current regulations, but will conduct safety assessments from the raw materials, manufacturing processes, consumer use, and disposal stages, aiming to ensure that its products do not have a negative impact on human health and the environment. Currently, this chemical substance management policy specifically focuses on flame retardants, phthalates, and perfluorinated chemicals. Costco plans to encourage its suppliers to gain a deeper understanding of the chemicals used in the manufacturing process of its products, enabling them to: • Identify Substances of Very High Concern (SHC) (through a comprehensive testing program); • Remove identified SHC and replace them with safer chemicals; • Identify whether suppliers are using SHC in their processes and replace the addition of hazardous substances with other innovative processes; • Review green certifications issued by impartial third-party organizations. Costco stated that it will collaborate with the BCGC in the long term to develop a comprehensive hazardous substance assessment and restriction strategy, The procurement process will be adjusted accordingly, requiring global supply chain manufacturers to comply with this chemical substance management policy. Currently, the policy prioritizes textiles, furniture, personal care products, and home products. Source: Chemical Watch (November 2, 2017) (Compiled by PIDC)
