Supporting Social Innovation　

Industrial associations have two important roles. One is to earn and strengthen the trust among the public as a reliable and fair mediator between governments and companies in the industry. Second is to accelerate Social Innovations. Social Innovation will become a key driver in realizing a society in which the people and the planet can live in harmony and sustainably. Through some examples experienced at JSDA, we will look at the increasing role in which AOSDAC has to play in accelerating Social Innovation.

Global Chemical Management Developments Affecting Cleaning Products　

Around the world, chemical management programs and policies are affecting cleaning product formulation and marketing. Although these developments provide opportunities for regulatory harmonization, some also have the potential to restrict formulation, inhibit innovation and increase time to market. The presentation will provide a brief overview of international, regional and national programs, policies and regulations affecting this industry. These include United Nations, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Chemicals Dialogue. The presentation will also address regulations in other countries that are affecting products beyond the borders of the areas to which they officially apply. Nongovernmental consumer and environmental groups and retailers continue to apply pressure for more restrictions. Cleaning product associations around the world, including JSDA and ACI, have joined in a network to address some of these developments.

APEC Chemical Dialogue -Opportunities for the soap and detergents industry 　

The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is a significant regional economic forum whose 21 member economies together comprise 54 percent of global GDP.

ACCORD Australasia has been an active participant in the APEC Chemical Dialogue (APEC CD) since 2007, when Australia lasted hosted APEC, as an industry co-partner within the Australian official delegation. Since that time, the APEC CD has played key role in promoting trade liberalisation across the chemicals product industry within APEC’s member economies.

For the soap and detergents industry, whose voice needs to be heard as a significant segment of the global chemicals industry, the APEC CD is a useful forum for pursuing strategic goals for strengthening the industry. Recent APEC CD projects have included promotion and capacity building for Best Practices for Chemicals Regulation, promotion of the chemical industry’s innovative solutions status, and better product stewardship and sustainability. There is opportunity for further soap and detergent industry engagement in the APEC CD, which this presentation will focus on.

JSDA Safe Use Icons 　

JSDA started GHS labeling for dishwashing detergents, acid/alkaline cleaners and chlorine bleaches from January 2011. In April 2012, i.e. one year after the GHS labeling, JSDA conducted consumer survey on GHS labeling, and found that consumers would like to know more about usages, precautions and first aids rather than hazard information. Now JSDA is developing a set of safe use icons in order to provide clearer messages to consumers so that consumers use JSDA products more safety. In this presentation we will share key findings from the consumer survey, and JSDA safe use icons.

Laundry Habits/Practices in Japan: 　

JSDA has been investigating the amount of plastic usage for containers from 1995 and publishing the data.　

In 2006, as more aggressive measures, we released the primary voluntary action plan to cut 30% plastic consumption per product shipments by 2010.

Under the member companies’ efforts like refill technology development and the understanding of retailers and consumers, we were able to get the big result more than the goal in the final year.
Following this achievement, in 2011, we have made the secondary voluntary action plan to set 40% reduction by 2015, and have been reporting the progress to society every year.

I will introduce some technologies and promotion methods for this plastic reduction.
