Design and Planning
The earlier a problem can be identified, the more efficient the solution. Solutions in Science works with manufacturers and distributors to review product design as well as production facilities to identify issues that may become problems in regulatory compliance or product safety.
Regulatory Compliance
With global supply chains and distribution networks, regulatory compliance can be a real challenge.
Solutions in Science has experience and capabilities to review and audit feedstocks, operations, and products, identify relevant standards, and help your operation stay in compliance. We can also aid in infraction defense through third party technical inspection and interpretation.
Social Responsibility
Social responsibility is a business approach intended to maintain a balance between the economy, society, and the environment. A reputation for social responsibility is not only good public relations, it can be economically beneficial by reducing costs and liabilities.
Solutions in Science has consulted with some of the country’s largest companies to aid in supply chain management, environmental impact, waste management, and production efficiency.
Life Cycle
Analysis
There are no such thing as externalities. There are just costs that have been recognized and those that have not yet been recognized. The regulatory environment has been ever pushing towards greater corporate responsibility not only for what you do, but also for what you make. Knowledge is the best defense.
Solutions in Science specializes in ISO 14040-based life cycle assessments for consumer products tailored to the needs of our clients. Our objective is to help identify, characterize, and quantify costs to maximize returns.
