Management of Hazardous Waste in China

The lab is running smoothly, but you are getting pressured to increase efficiency. You have hesitated to upgrade the lab data system; you fear it will be expensive and time consuming.

Supply chain planning in SAP is an ongoing process rather than a one-time event. This impetus for continuous improvement is particularly strong in the Chemicals industry and manifests itself via pressure on asset utilization, customer service and working capital and cost management. Come listen to Steve MacCorkle from INVISTA and Tom Chason from SCMO2 discuss lessons learned in implementing and continuing to optimize Supply Chain planning with SAP in a globally integrated chemical supply chain.

This webinar is organised and sponsored by Mettler Toledo. Featuring presenters from Merck & Co., Takeda Pharmaceuticals, and the University of California-Merced, this free online seminar is for scientists and engineers who are interested in learning more about scale-up of chemical process using data rich experimentation. Each presenter will share a series of technical case studies.

Before marketing a new chemical, the manufacturer/importer, in order to meet the various national and international legal requirements, has to submit information in the form of a notification or registration (e.g. phys-chem, toxicological, ecotoxicological data) to support each Government’s risk assessment to determine whether the substance poses an unreasonable risk to the environment and/or human health. Some countries require pre-manufacture/import notification while for many jurisdictions, the chemical notification process is a tiered system requiring subsequent notifications as the annual amount of the imported or manufactured substance increases. Further, there are expanding global initiatives to assess chemicals already in the marketplace and subsequently take action on any chemicals found to be harmful to human health and/or the environment. Government risk management initiatives are investigating the incorporation of informed substitution and alternatives assessment to identify candidates to replace existing toxics.
