Chemical Strategies Partnership

Established in 1996, the Chemical Strategies Partnership seeks to reduce chemical use, waste, risks, and cost through the transformation of the chemical supply chain by redefining the way chemicals are used and sold. CSP works to:
  • Reduce the use and release of toxic chemicals and quantify these reductions
  • Promote “chemical management services” as an economic and environmental best practice in manufacturing
  • Empower customers and suppliers to recognize the true costs of chemical use
CSP has been testing an emerging concept, chemical management services, as a means to achieve chemical use reduction. Chemical management services or “chemical services” promises to fundamentally redefine the way chemicals are purchased, used, and managed. This new economic model encourages and rewards chemical suppliers for providing their customers with services, rather than following the current model in which suppliers are paid for the volume of chemicals sold. Chemical services offer significant potential for reducing chemical use and environmental impact across many industry sectors.

CSP has pursued varied programs rooted in hands-on collaboration with manufacturing firms. Having demonstrated the business and environmental value of the model, CSP is increasingly focused on disseminating the model and introducing chemical services into new sectors.
