Abstract
ABSTRACT
This article presents eleven examples of successful material and process substitutions in the following areas: (1) replacement of chlorinated, caustic, or acidic cleaners and degreasers; (2) replacement of toxic metals; and (3) replacement of organic-based inks, paints, and solvents with water-based substitutes. Using these example cases, out both technical and regulatory constraints to the development of effective substitutes are discussed. Finally, ways are suggested to stimulate research and development to expand the utilization of these alternative technologies.
