Throughout 2025, the Sustainable Chemistry Catalyst at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and Change Chemistry’s Transatlantic Policy Working Group worked together "to identify barriers to sustainable chemistry innovation, adoption, and market transformation and to explore how targeted government policy incentives could address those barriers."
The partners have now published the results their work in a report titled Incentivizing Sustainable Chemistry: A Policy Framework for Innovation, Manufacturing, & Market Transformation.
"The Framework is aspirational, representing a fully articulated and robust approach to supporting both demand creation and supply of sustainable chemicals." - Introduction, "Incentivizing Sustainable Chemistry..."
The report offers a range of suggestions that cover the full development cycle of sustainable chemistry innovations, including early-stage research, the initial phases of commercial adoption, and scale-up for full commercialization.
