The California Green Chemistry Initiative was launched in April 2007 by California's Secretary for Environmental Protection. The Secretary requested that the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) lead a broad public process to generate ideas that could fill information and safety gaps about chemicals, develop overall policy goals, and identify and recommend policy options. The Initiative is divided into two phases. During Phase One, from April to December 2007, participants brainstormed more than 800 options. These options were compiled into the Phase One report. In June 2008, as part of Phase Two, the Science Advisory Panel completed a report that presents 38 options to advance green chemistry (PDF file, 1.4MB).
