Examples of Sustainable Futures Benefits
Some examples from Sustainable Futures participants that have seen significant cost savings associated with identifying problematic chemicals and processes early in research and development appear below.
Eastman Kodak, under their Project XL, sponsored a cost-accounting study by the Tellus Institute that compared Kodak's operations both before and after using the P2 Framework models.
Cytec Industries used the Sustainable Futures screening methods to evaluate three potential new materials as premanufacture notices and were able to stop development of one problematic material early on and refocus research efforts to look for a more environmentally friendly alternative.
