Google will remove several toxic substances from its supply chain.

  • 2019-11-14

Google will remove several toxic substances from its supply chain. Multinational technology company Google has pledged a circular economy strategy, including phasing out antimicrobials and making flame retardants safer in its consumer electronics products over the next four years. "Circular Google" aims to maximize the reuse of limited resources across the company's operations, products, and supply chain, with other markets to follow. The policy will promote "non-hazardous substances and safe chemicals to achieve a permanent product cycle." This includes consumer electronics products—such as Pixel phones and Chromebook laptops—and several supply chain goals, such as: - Using safer flame retardants across the entire product portfolio by 2030. - Eliminating antimicrobials across the entire product portfolio by 2030. - Contractually prioritizing the use and use of recycled materials by 2020. The concept of a circular economy—a redefinition of growth based on social benefit, encompassing the sustainable use of products and materials and zero-waste design—is a focus in Europe and elsewhere, but in the United States, it has so far focused on end-use factors such as recyclability. “If we’re going to extend the flow of materials in business, we need to design them to be safer for people and the environment because once we manufacture a product, we can’t change its chemistry,” said Michael Werner, a chemist at Google. Prioritizing the Sharing of Safe Chemicals Data In 2018, Google published a report on safe and healthy chemicals, laying the foundation for these commitments. The report outlined how companies can influence innovation in the use of safe chemicals and identified three potential opportunities: 1. Increasing access to high-quality chemical hazard assessment data. 2. Creating demand for safe chemical innovation. 3. Driving innovation in recycling technologies and infrastructure. This highlights the need for collaborative action to achieve these goals, the greater influence of large corporations on the industry, and the fact that shared goals can comprehensively reduce costs. The tech giant is calling for the entire industry to adopt unified standards and tools to “accelerate the pace of product optimization.” “We need safer chemicals to unlock the circular economy,” Google stated.
