ChemForward

ChemFORWARD is a science-based, non-profit, value chain collaboration that has created a range of resources to advance safer chemistry. The Chemical Hazard Data Trust is a centralised and comprehensive repository that was designed to simplify access to chemical hazard data from credible sources; curate, maintain, and continuously improve the data; and harmonise the information for actionable decision support. ChemFORWARD's SAFER verified program assesses suppliers' trade name ingredients against rigorous human and environmental impacts using toxicology experts. The Plastic Additives Alternatives Finder supports the rapid elimination of chemicals of concern and the optimisation of plastic feedstocks with safer alternatives to accelerate circularity by enabling users to check the chemical hazard profile of over 1100 different additives used in plastics. ChemFORWARD analyses data from dozens of brands, retailers, and suppliers to produce custom Ingredient Intelligence Reports (IIRs) that provide clear, comparable data for chemical management reporting. They have also created pfasID, a free web-based tool that simplifies the process of identifying PFAS.
