OverviewOverview
• What is the OECD?• Some recent results on Green
Chemistry Innovation– Trends from Patent Data– Survey of chemists
• OECD work on Green Chemistry– Sustainable chemistry platform– Substitution of harmful chemicals
• The Green Growth Knowledge Platform

The OECDThe OECD
• 30 member countries (5 accession countries, 5 enhance engagement countries)
• Economics-based, multi-sectoral• Forum to share experiences and derive policy
lessons, source of comparative data• Council approves Programme of Work and Budget
for a 2-year period• Committees and Working Parties supervise policy
analysis work• Secretariat: 2000+ staff, based in Paris • OECD Chemicals Programme: e.g. Good Laboratory
Practices (MAD), Test Guidelines Programme

Green chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances.

• Work carried-out in 2010• Measures the output of innovation• EPO World Patent Statistical (PATSTAT)
database, using search algorithms based on a selection of International Patent Classification (IPC) codes
• propensity to patent both product and process innovations is higher in the chemical industry than in other sectors
• Focus was on the following technologies:• Biochemical Fuel Cells• Biodegradable packaging• Aqueous solvents• Selected White Biotech• TCF Bleaching Technologies • Green plastics

Survey of ChemistsSurvey of Chemists
• Collaboration with:– Department of Government, London School
of Economics– Center for Green Chemistry and Green
Engineering, Yale University
• Internet opinion poll: via SurveyMonkey– Yale Center Contacts– Green Chemistry International Chapters– Other Professional & Industrial
Organizations

DemographicsDemographics
• 146 Respondents: Individuals (not firms)• Respondents reported their own
location in 24 different areas• Firms with HQ in 22 different areas
– OECD: 124 (80 in US)– Outside of OECD: 21
• Market (primary):– Domestic: 64%– Export: 46%

ConclusionsConclusions
• Sustained innovation in many areas of SC• White Biotech is area with most patent
applications• Chemists in industry view
green/sustainable chemistry as a growing, profitable area in the future
• Regulatory requirements and product standards are most important policy factors driving SC innovation

Other OECD Work on Green Chemistry
• Sustainable Chemistry Platform http://www.oecd.org/env_sustainablechemistry_platform/
• Support information exchange and identification of projects that would benefit from international cooperation

Berlin Conference
• 6-7 October 2011• Organised by German Federal
Environment Agency, with UNIDO, GIZ and OECD
• 100 experts from 14 countries• Focus on:
– Supply chain issues– Chemicals policies and management– Sustainable chemistry in SMEs and
developing countries
![Page 16: Sustainable Chemistry Work at OECD – Results and Perspectives](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062803/5681472f550346895db46bb9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Key recommendations for OECD
• Decision support tools– They have a crucial role to play in supporting substitution– A large number of tools has been developed and is
available– Recommendations:
• Create an inventory of decision support tools• Develop a toolbox
• Data– Issue with access and availability– Recommendations:
• Efforts to make existing data more accessible and produce more of it
![Page 17: Sustainable Chemistry Work at OECD – Results and Perspectives](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062803/5681472f550346895db46bb9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
OECD Work in 2013-14
• Programme of Work 2013-14: “Tools and approaches to support decision making for the substitution of harmful chemicals”– Set-up of an Ad Hoc Group (2012)– Inventory of tools and scoping of issues
(2012)– Workshop to take stock and discuss follow-
up (early 2013)– Feasibility report on toolbox (2014)– Inventory of data sources (2014)

Mission: enhance and expand efforts to identify and address major
knowledge gaps in green growth theory and practice help countries design and implement green growth policy
