"Product Stewardship" (PS) is the act of taking responsibility for the
manufactured products and reduction of product’s environmental, health and
safety impacts. It means a commitment to cooperate along the entire
production and supply chain - as well as throughout the product lifecycle –
with the aim of passing on up- and down-stream environmentally relevant
and health related data and ensuring responsible handling of various chemical
products.
