Towards Improved Interactions in the Two-Way Flow of Risk-Related Chemical Information -- The Cases of
Clothing, Toys, and Paint
Projektbeskrivning svenska(högst 1500 tecken inklusive mellanslag)
Kemikalieanvändningen i vardagsprodukter är omfattande. Ökade kunskaper om informationsflöden, från producent till
konsument och vice versa, kan i förlängningen minska människors och miljöns exponering för farliga ämnen. Detta
tvärvetenskapliga forskningsprojekt analyserar spridning och tolkning av riskrelaterad kemikalieinformation. Genom
forskarnas skilda ämnesbakgrunder, institutionella tillhörigheter och forskarnätverk sammanförs här ett brett spektrum av
perspektiv. Empiriskt fokuserar projektet på fallstudier av tre konsumentproduktgrupper: textilier, barnleksaker och
målarfärg. Dessa fall studeras inom tre delprojekt. Det första delprojektet (i) beskriver olika typfall av försörjningskedjor
för kemikalieinnehållande produkter. Det andra delprojektet (ii) studerar hur kemikalieinformation tolkas av olika aktörer i
försörjningskedjorna. Det tredje delprojektet (iii) analyserar informationsåterkoppling i försörjningskedjorna. Projektet är
avsett att ge förståelse för spridning, återkoppling, tolkning och användning av kemikalieinformation. Denna kunskap
kommer förhoppningsvis att leda till förbättrade policybeslut och förändrade beteendemönster, och därmed i
förlängningen till minskade kemikalierisker i samhället. Mer specifikt kommer projektet att bidra till ökade kunskaper om
de socio-tekniska systemen för textilier, leksaker och målarfärg. Projektet är också ämnat att bidra till teoriutveckling som
rör kommunikationsprocesser mellan vetenskap och allmänhet.
Projektbeskrivning engelska (högst 1500 tecken inklusive mellanslag)
The use of chemicals in everyday products is immense. Increased insights into the flows of information about chemicals,
from producers to users and vice versa, may lead to reductions of hazardous chemical exposures. This interdisciplinary
research project analyses the distribution and interpretations of chemistry information. The information and its flows are
here elucidated from a systems perspective and from perspectives of learning, understanding, and argumentation among
various groups of actors. Empirically, the project covers case studies of the chemical dimensions of three types of
consumer products: clothing, toys and paint. The cases are studied within three sub-projects: The aim of sub-project (i) is
to describe various types of supply chains by covering actors from raw material producers to final consumers. The subproject (ii) investigates how risk-relevant chemistry information is interpreted and communicated by various groups of
actors. The third sub-project (iii), analyses processes of information feedback in the supply chains. The new knowledge
will hopefully lead to improved policy decisions and altered routines, and, in extension, to reduced chemical risks. More
specifically, the project will contribute to increased knowledge about the socio-technical systems for clothes, toys and
paint. More generally, the project is intended to contribute to theory development as regards communication processes
that take place between science and the general public.

Förbättrad samverkan i flödet av riskrelaterad kemikalieinformation mellan producenter och brukare: Fallstudier av kläder, leksaker och
målarfärg Kemikalieanvändningen i vardagsprodukter är omfattande och ofta svårgreppbar, för aktörer inom produktions- och
distributionsleden såväl som för olika grupper av brukare. Ökade kunskaper om informationsflöden, från producent till konsument och i
motsatt riktning kan i förlängningen minska människors och miljöns exponering för potentiellt farliga kemiska ämnen. Detta
tvärvetenskapliga forskningsprojekt kommer att analysera spridning och tolkning av riskrelaterad kemikalieinformation, i ljuset av
kunskapsosäkerheter när det gäller varors mångtaliga och globala produktionsled. Informationsprocesserna ska alltså belysas ur såväl
övergripande systemperspektiv som ur lärande- och förståelseperspektiv på olika aktörsnivåer. Genom forskarnas olika
ämnesbakgrunder, institutionella tillhörigheter och forskarnätverk sammanförs i projektet ett brett spektrum av perspektiv. Empiriskt
kommer projektet att fokusera på fallstudier av tre konsumentproduktgrupper med riskkemikalier: textilier, leksaker och målarfärg. Dessa
fall kommer att studeras inom projektets tre delprojekt. Det första delprojektet (i) syftar till att diskutera olika typfall av försörjningskedjor
(eng: supply chains) för kemikalieinnehållande produkter. Det andra delprojektet (ii) syftar till att studera hur komplex, riskrelevant och
ibland osäker kemikalieinformation tolkas av olika aktörer i försörjningskedjorna. Det tredje delprojektet (iii), slutligen, ska analysera
processer av informationsåterkoppling i försörjningskedjorna, och på vilka sätt denna motsatt riktade information, från konsument till
producent, har betydelse för miljöinnovationer inom de studerade produktgrupperna. Projektet är avsett att resultera i bättre förståelse
för spridning, återkoppling, tolkning och användning av riskrelaterad kemikalieinformation, både på system- och aktörsnivåerna. Denna
kunskap kommer förhoppningsvis leda till förbättrade policybeslut och förändrade beteendemönster bland olika kemikalieaktörer, och
därmed i förlängningen till minskade kemikalierisker i samhället. Mer specifikt kommer projektet att bidra till ökade kunskaper om de
socio-tekniska systemen för textilier, leksaker och målarfärg. På ett allmänt plan bidrar också projektet till teoriutveckling som rör
kommunikationsprocesser mellan vetenskap och allmänhet.

“Towards Improved Interactions in the Two-Way Flow of Risk-Related Chemical Information
-- The Cases of Clothing, Toys, and Paint”
1. Background
It is hard to imagine our society without an extensive set of chemical substances1, either as (A) pure
substances, (B) in chemical products (e.g., mixtures, blends, preparations) or as (C) parts of other
products or articles.2 The benefits from chemicals are obvious. Our modern way of life relies – among
other things – on the application of advanced chemical knowledge, which is in turn a basis for many
consumer products for daily use. These benefits come with negative side-effects of chemicals. There is a
long list of concerns in both the developing and developed world, spanning from direct poisoning to the
long-term exposure of humans through moderate doses throughout our daily lives (Casper 2003). There
are also serious concerns about various effects in the ecosystems where, for example, pesticides and
hormone disturbing substances might pose threats to susceptible organisms. Unease among consumers,
employees and environmental groups about unknown chemical risks has led to a growing concern
among companies producing consumer goods and among authorities regulating chemicals. As a
response to these concerns one of the Swedish environmental goals is to create a ‘toxicant free
environment’ (Johansson 2006). This is just an example of activities leading to a ‘greener’ chemistry
(Sjöström 2005). Other examples are the new European chemicals legislation (Registration, Evaluation,
Authorisation of Chemicals; REACH), the industry’s initiative ‘Responsible Care’, and the academic
meta-discipline of ‘green chemistry’ (Klintman and Sjöström 2006). All these initiatives rely on the
concepts of ‘chemical information’ and ‘information flow’.
There are several aspects of ‘chemical information’ of which the ‘purely technical’ is important for
the direct application and use. This information answers questions like ‘Can this chemical be used for
that application?’ or ‘How should this chemical product be handled in order to achieve a particular
result’? However, since chemical substances also may bring risks of adverse effects for users, final
customers or the environment, another aspect of ‘chemical information’ than the purely technical is
required. Hence increasing efforts are put into the creation and distribution of risk-related chemical
information. The hope is that information will bring an adequate, risk-reducing behaviour.
‘Chemical information’ is often very complex and difficult for various groups of users – professional
and domestic – to make adequate use of. A complicating aspect is that the competence related to
interpretation and understanding of such chemical information is extremely different along the product
supply chains. This can inter alia be a serious impediment to enviro-innovations that are aimed at
reducing hazards. Large, research-heavy companies produce chemicals while ordinary, nonexpert users
might be responsible for handling them in the other end of the supply-user chain. An example of a
dysfunctional information flow was the acrylic amide emissions during the construction of the tunnel
through Hallandsås, where labelling and formal information occurred while adequate management
systems and competence were lacking at the user-end, causing serious effects on workers and
environment. All in all, ‘chemical information’ poses serious problems, new challenges, and new
possibilities for the different individuals and organisations producing or receiving ‘chemicals’ or
‘chemical information’. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a better understanding of the information
characteristics of chemical supply chains related to products, and of how to provide the right type of
chemical information across various groups of actors in society. As a consequence, it is crucial to
identify possibilities for improvement of the chemical information flows, both on a systems level and on
1
In the European REACH legislation a ‘chemical substance’ is ‘a chemical element and its compounds in the
natural state or obtained by any manufacturing process, including any additive necessary to preserve its stability
and any impurity deriving from the process used, but excluding any solvent which may be separated without
affecting the stability of the substance or changing its composition’.
2
The concept of ‘article’ is defined in the European REACH legislation as ‘an object which during production is
given a special shape, surface or design which determines its function to a greater degree than does its chemical
composition’.
1
a specific form and content level. Improvements as regards feed-back systems from ‘ordinary users’ –
professional and domestic, based on their daily experiences and risk concerns – are key to such
improvement of communication. These information flows from users to producers are also of particular
interest in light of the new REACH legislation, since this regulation includes the obligation for
producers to provide risk assessments that cover users.
2. Aim and the Research Area
- General aim:
The general aim of this project is to describe and provide an analysis of the information flow in
the socio-technical systems related to hazardous chemicals in consumer products. The project will
indicate pathways towards improved flows of chemistry information, in the sense of (A) the right
‘amount’ of information for the specific receiver, (B) information provided at the right time (and that it
is up-to-date), and (C) information with the appropriate level of complexity and detail (i.e., that the
information meet the needs of an actor and can result in responsibly patterns of action by the groups of
actors addressed),(D) routines and forums for learning, feed-back, reflection and influence by groups of
people involved in ‘the chemistry behind’ the products: professional and domestic users and finally (E)
information that can result in well-balanced incentives for research in both the natural and social
sciences, aimed at finding solutions to the problems at different societal levels. This raises the
overriding question of how the flows of risk-related, chemical information can be strengthened
logistically, socially, and through improved policy making. The result from this project will be used
for informing policy makers and actors responsible in the industry regarding feasible and efficient forms
of information flows in both directions along supply chains. Empirically, the project will cover three
case studies of chemical and policy-related dimensions of three specific types of consumer
products: clothing, toys and paint. These three types of products are subject to intense debates
concerning environment, health and ethics worldwide. The case studies will cover Sweden, the Nordic,
and the EU levels as well as global levels.3
- Specific aims:
The specific aims of the project are threefold. The first (i) and third (iii) aims are focused on the system
level, whereas the second (ii) is focused on the user level:
(i) Construction of supply-chain typologies of chemicals and related products
The concept of ‘supply chain’ dates back to Forrester (1961) and has recently been expanded to include
‘supply networks’. It can be defined as a system of organizations - often production companies including their staff, disseminating available information and other resources that are set up for
providing customers with a product or service. Supply chains use energy to transform raw materials into
finished products and deliver them to the end user. Supply chains consist of linked value chains. A
broad range of models are available for describing and simulating various supply chain activities.
The aim of (i) is to describe various types of supply chains through actor maps covering actors
from raw material producers to final consumers. The three industries to which ‘our products are
related will be compared in fairly specific case studies. However the scope of study will not be limited
to the three specific case studies; it will also include studies of various types of chains in order to have a
basis for constructing a useful supply chain typology. The following aspects will be taken into
consideration: (A) simple (few steps in the supply chain) or complex (many steps, branching or looping
chains), (B) national and international chains, (C) size of actors involved (D) coercively or voluntarily
determined rules regarding exchanges of information, and (E) the possible emergence of epistemic
communities (Andresen 2000) that might affect the future policymaking along the chain or affect parts
of it.
3
The latter level can be studied either on a country-type basis – developing, transitional etc. – or through
institutional approaches where members of the UN family are in focus, such as UNDP and UNCTAD, or the
international financial and trade institutions such as IBRD and WTO are in focus.
2
(ii) Interpretations and evaluations of the chemical risk-relevant information
The aim of (ii) is to investigate how the chemical information is interpreted by various groups of
users in the supply chains. We will also analyse how these interpretations have significance for the
choices made and actions taken by the respective groups of users. At a more general level, the
objective is to get a more nuanced understanding of how various groups of users interpret, understand
and evaluate the risks involved, based on information about the chemistry used in the everyday
consumer products of the case studies. Chemical information is provided through product labelling,
databases, lists, environmental declarations, instructions, and education. Moreover, it is provided by
NGOs, and media, and through day-to-day communication within actors and in the public at large
(Oudshoorn and Pinch 2003). What problems and challenges are involved in this information provision,
and what forums are there for open and constructive dialogue concerning the chemistry information and
actual chemical use ‘behind’ these products? What factors4 affect the risk evaluations and practices by
the various groups of users: professional and domestic? Can local patterns of actions be understood in
terms of conflicts of interest, and divergence in interpretations between different sustainability
discourses?
(iii) Demand-shaping processes in chemicals supply chains
In the long run the best way to ’detoxify’ is often to ’enviro-innovate’ and find alternative routes to fill
the functions that are today filled using hazardous chemicals. This involves substitution in the broadest
sense of the word. The substitution might take place at a ’low systemic level’, for example by replacing
one chemical substance with another. But substitution may also take place on higher systems levels. For
instance, it may involve replacing chemical reactions with biological ones, or replacing ’purely’
technological change with socio-economic change. (see Bertelman et al. 1980).5 In order to trigger
search processes for enviro-innovation or make enviro-inventions successful there is in many cases a
prerequisite that demand shaping processes (innovation processes at the demand side) have preceded, or
at least taken place at the same time as, the innovation processes. Dialogue between actors in the
different processes are also essential. Demand-shaping processes are multi-layered, in the sense that
they can involve everything from changes in thought patterns, and fundamental changes in life styles to
more mundane changes, such as in fashion. The chemical supply chains are often ’epistemically long'.
Let us take paints as an example: At one end of the chain there are painters, who would like to use less
hazardous paints; at the other end there are chemical laboratories where the binders can be invented,
which are in turn needed for a low-level substitution into less hazardous paints. Needless to say, the
actors at the two ends think within quite different frames of reference (Hollander 1995 Ch.'s 7 and 17).
To learn more about the information flows in chemical supply chains are thus important also for enviroinnovative processes. The aim of (iii) is to examine and elucidate what qualities of the information
flows, and what processes around these flows, generate demand shaping and enviro-innovation.
3. The Research Area (Theoretical Framework)
Three broad areas of research are especially relevant for the suggested project. These areas are (A)
Socio-technical systems, (B) Public understanding of science and (C) Science-policy analysis and
framings of communication.
- A: Socio-technical systems - interactions between social and technological processes: Chemical
products are the result of very complicated socio-technical systems. The image is further complicated in
light of the international regulation currently taking place. The process leading up to the REACH
agreement illustrates that the interactions that precede new phenomena, such as legislation, influencing
4
E.g., education, governmental requirements, alarms, experiences within the business branches, ignorance, habits,
level of risk aversion, social pressure within the user group, etc.
5
In the Bertelman et.al. report seven levels of substitution are identified – from low level substitution of the type
where one chemical substance is replaced by another to substitution at the level of societal value systems (e.g.
Table 5 in subreport 9 to Bertelman et al. 1980).
3
chemical information chains can be extremely complex. To what extent REACH might reduce risk
levels is also an intricate issue indeed. It inter alia presupposes understanding of complex interactions
between social and technological processes; hence socio-technical systems theory is valuable. This
school of thought has its roots in ways of solving pressing problems during World War II where experts
with different backgrounds were put together do what was called operations research. Nowadays
systems approaches are seen in many scientific disciplines and very frequently applied (for reviews see
e.g. Trist and Murray (1990), Jackson (1991)). The early ‘hard systems’ approaches was highly centred
on mathematical models has been followed by “soft system” approaches (Checkland and Holwell
(1998); Checkland (1999)) focusing social and cognitive processes, often using the systems metaphor as
a tool for communication and learning. Recent contributions in the sphere of socio-technical systems
belong to areas such as SCOT (Social Construction of Technology) (Bijker et al. 1987) or ANT (ActorNetwork Theory (Callon 1999; Law and Hassard 1999). For a brief account of these matters see (Kain
2003 pp 67-95).
To illustrate the applicability of socio-technical approaches we can once again take the example of
enviro-innovative and enviro-demand shaping processes: In order to understand a sudden outburst of, or
a long term trend towards, public criticism in ‘the North’ of toys that are produced under hazardous
working conditions we need to understand social psychological and communicative processes. When
trying to analyse how such a change of sentiment is ‘translated’ into changing market conditions,
emerging ‘labelled products’, new management practices, and so forth, we will also have to take into
account economic processes. Meanwhile technological developments, and changes in design and
logistics processes, might have to emerge in order for the new demand patterns to break through at a
mass-market level. To ‘read’ such a development would also involve a lot of interpretations of
information along chemical chains.6
- B: Public understanding of science: This school of thought has been developed much in recent years
from its original question of how the public can become more scientifically literate, to broader question
of how a better dialogue and mutual input of further groups in society, dialogues of knowledge,
experiences, worries, and trust. This more recent theoretical development stresses that there is increased
public (environmental and health-related) risk awareness in reflexive modernity. This reflexive view
necessitates more open and deliberative processes for identifying and formulating risks and the handling
of them (Macnaugten & Urry 1998, Lidskog et al 1997). We will pay particular attention to the
interrelation between ‘substantive’ knowledge of the chemical processes and the ‘procedural’
knowledge of how risk assessments are conducted, by whom, what public input is taken into account,
and so forth. What are the preconditions for a more reflexive position among the public and various
other users of the products, a position that is neither based on a naïve trust in experts nor on an excessive
distrust in authorities where all information about chemicals in consumer products is seen as equally
invalid or relative (cf., Klintman & Boström, 2007)?
- C: Science-policy analysis and framings of communication: This theoretical perspective facilitates
examinations of how policy issues are partly based on social values and subjective factors (e.g., Fischer,
2003). This study will investigate the role of language, symbols, and rhetorical arguments and framings
of complex and uncertain environmental and social impacts into chemistry information (cf., Schön &
Rein, 1994; Klintman & Boström, 2004). The framing approach is particularly useful for highlighting
conflicts, misunderstandings, and communication challenges across actors, related to the development of
information flows of the chemistry dimension with an international scope. How are certain themes
selected and others omitted, and how can frame conflicts be resolved?
- Further aspects of the research area: The specific research area of risk information flows along the
supply chain is scarcely represented in the scientific literature. Extensive searches in the Web of Science
and related databases give only around twenty papers with some, often weak, bearing on the issues of
6
Examples of attempts to use case study techniques to investigate complex interactions between systems of the
type described in the text can be found in for instance Roome, 1998 ch. 8 and in Hollander 1995 chapter pairs 6/16
7/17 and 8/18.

hazard/risk/safety information flows along the chemical value chain. However, initial OECD-studies of
information flows in value-chains have been performed by five countries (Japan, Korea, Germany,
Sweden, and the United States.) Of these studies one has found its way to the open literature (Ohashi et
al. 2005) in proceedings of a conference. It is fair to say that theese OECD-studies are small regulatory
authority desk work supported by a reference group of industry and stakeholder representatives. A more
ambitious study was made by the Swedish National Chemicals Inspectorate that commissioned a report
related to the construction of an information system for product related chemical information (Edlund et
al. 2004). The extensive report is based on interviews and focus groups and describes many aspects of
information along the supply chain. It covers several types of industrial sectors, different actors and
various types of information, as well as information needs, along with considerations regarding different
competencies, possibilities and barriers for information transmission and interpretation. The report also
includes a short literature review covering mostly reports, focused on environmental labelling, which
reflects the scarcity of directly relevant literature addressing the questions posed.7 Related, but not
directly relevant, is the research performed on consumers and product-related environmental
information (see e.g. Leire et al. 2004), which also focuses on labelling and consumers attitudes and
behaviour.
Thus, within this field of research, no single stream of literature is possible to identify. To develop a
deeper understanding of the preconditions for improved flows of chemical information, the project will
entail a development of an interdisciplinary theoretical framework, mainly derived from the three
schools of thought described above.
4. Methods, Procedure and Time Schedule
As has been mentioned, the empirical part of the project will consist of three case studies of
clothing, toys and paint, covering chemical use, policies and views among a broad range of actors
and users (see below). Yin (1994) defines case study as ‘an empirical inquiry that investigates a
contemporary phenomenon within its real-life context, especially when the boundaries between
phenomenon and context are not clearly evident’ (Yin 1994:13). The strength of the case study is its
broad sources of evidence (McCracken 1988:28-29). The study will combine the use of documents,
semi-structured interviews with key players in NGOs, public agencies, and businesses engaged in the
products. Since this will not be a longitudinal study, combining the methods becomes crucial.
- Exploratory Mapping of Policy Actors, Organizations, and their Dynamics: An initial exploratory
mapping of actors, organisations and networks becomes necessary, with regards to specific subcases
within each case. Documents and (albeit limited) previous research will be useful. Prospective
informants will be contacted through the ‘snowball method’. The mapping will begin with Sweden,
followed by a broadening towards the Nordic and EU levels.8 The project includes communication
with the governmental agencies; the Swedish Chemicals Agency, the Swedish Consumer Agency,
and Consumer advisers. This communication will be supplemented with contacts with branch
organizations, and specific companies of interest, labour unions and procurers in the sectors of textiles,
toys and paint at national as well as international levels. Nongovernmental organizations involved with
chemical issues surrounding consumer products will be contacted, for instance the Swedish Society for
Nature Conservation, Greenpeace and nongovernmental consumer groups as well as alternative
producers. Subsequently, day care groups and groups with domestic users and the general public will be
contacted for discussions on how they view chemistry aspects of specific products. The strategy will be
7
Very recently (November 2006) a workshop was held under the so-called REACH implementation projects
(RIP), initialized by the European Commission and concerning the writing of a technical guidance document for
exposure scenarios (a part of the coming Chemical Safety Assessment procedure under REACH). At the workshop
some presentations described smaller case studies aimed at describing parts of the information flow from downstream users to producers that are of relevance for the construction of exposure scenarios

As mentioned earlier the global level can be approached in a number of ways. Above we mentioned country-type
and institutional approaches. Approaches where global economic actors are high-lighted might also be considered.

to begin our exploration broadly through the organizations above. From this wide starting point, the
project will identify more specific products and supply chains that will be subject to in-depth study.
Thus, our ambition is to give a broad overview of chemical aspects of the three sectors, followed by indepth investigations of specific parts of each sector (e.g., a specific type of chemistry use in textiles,
toys and paint, or specific products within each sector). The construction of a supply chain typology will
then be based on the outcomes of the exploratory mapping using the above-mentioned mapping methods
and the pre-conceived types mentioned under ‘Construction of supply chain…’ above as starting points.
Our idea is that the identified types of supply chains will serve as basis for recommendations regarding
adequate and adapted information strategies for chemical hazard/risk information along the supply
chain.
- Semi-structured interviews and peer group discussions: The main method of data collection will be
semi-structured interviews. To grasp the communication within organisations and agencies surrounding
chemicals in the product sectors, individual interviews will be complemented with ‘peer group
discussions’ (Gamson 1988). This type of interviews differs from, for instance, focus group discussions,
in that the participants in peer group discussions know each other (cf., Wibeck 2000). Through the peer
group discussions, it is more likely to get a picture of everyday discussions among the actors, which is
how conceptual framings are often shaped or modified. The exact number of interviews (individual as
well as peer group discussions) should depend on at what point the interview material reaches
saturation. The sampling of a broad range of actors and organizations will be strategic. The goal of
the strategic sampling is in these cases that the interviewees should present as great a variety of
knowledge-related and ideologically founded views. The interviews will be transcribed, in order to be
properly analysed on the basis of the research questions and theoretical perspectives. Recent
developments within qualitative analysis will be used (Gubrium & Holstein, 2001). All this work will be
carried out in a scientific context that is, to a considerable degree, inter-disciplinary.
In the interviews, the informants will be asked to describe what role (if any) the chemical aspects
play when they choose between different products in the three sectors. They will be asked what types of
chemical and risk information they know about, how they understand this information, if they do
anything to reduce the possible chemical risks involved in the products, and what more could be done by
consumers, policy makers, producers, branch organizations, in terms of improved communication,
dialogue, and so forth, in chemical risk issues. The views of trust in various agencies and chemical
information will also be central to this study. Trust is particularly important to examine with regards to
the complexities that the globalized market of consumer goods entails, concerning traceability and risk
assessments of chemicals.
- Limitations on the project scope: In a project investigating multi-facetted processes such as chemical
information flows it becomes crucial with delimitations, and to be clear about what is beyond its main
scope. Therefore, the construction of supply-chain typologies (i) will aspire to illustrate the breadth of
various such types, while it is beyond its scope to examine the full depth of each type. Moreover, the
construction of typologies will emphasise the producer side. In contrast, the interpretations and
evaluations of chemical risk-relevant information (ii) will have Swedish consumers and users as its core.
In this study of interpretations among consumers and users, we will go in-depth into various sub-groups
interpretations, needs and concerns. Another important limitation concerns our investigation of
international supply chains; within our project only a few, very specific products will be selected and
studied throughout the international supply chain, products selected from the vast variety of clothes and
toys on a market that is practically impossible to grasp in-depth as a whole.
- Time schedule and project organisation: The research process will proceed the first year (from Sept,
2007) by means of background reading, literature reviews, development of research design,
presentations of the design for feed-back at research conferences, initiation of an exploratory mapping
of the actors and organizations relevant to the three cases, and pilot studies; the second year (from Sept,
2008) will entail an elaboration on case-studies, collection of empirical data, productions of
contributions to journals and book anthologies, semi-structured interviews with relevant organisations
6
and agencies; the third and last year (from Sept, 2009) will be used for supplementing empirical
research, finalizing the analysis, writing articles for international and Swedish academic as well as
practitioner-oriented journals, and writing articles in newspapers. At this stage doctoral students will
have material for proceeding into an application process in order to get funding for their further studies
to a doctoral degree.
The work in the project will be organised as follows. Mikael Klintman and Jesper Sjöström
will be responsible for the research conducted in (ii); Sverker Molander will be responsible for the
research conducted in (i); Ernst Hollander will have a bit more time than the others for research,
mainly in (iii) for which he will be responsible. In addition, there will be much collaboration and
regular meetings where the interrelations between the projects are discussed and developed.
Furthermore, an important share of work in the project will be carried out within the two
doctoral projects - one in Lund and one in Göteborg - which will work in close collaboration both
with each other and with supervisors (Klintman and Molander) and co-supervisors (Sjöström and
Hollander). Both PhD-projects will use the same case studies. The Gothenburg project will have an
emphasis on supply chain typologies (i). The Lund project will have an emphasis on interpretations and
evaluations (ii). Both projects will use the perspective of demand shaping. In order to get a truly
interdisciplinary composition of the team of supervisors we plan to have the Lund-based doctoral
student (supervised by Klintman in Lund) co-supervised by Hollander and Sjöström, while the
Göteborg-based doctoral student (supervised by Molander in Gothenburg) will be co-supervised by
Hollander and Klintman.
5. Gender Perspective
Our very choice of case studies is partly based on the goal of including products that are traditionally
associated with men’s and women’s spheres: clothing and toys traditionally being products of women’s
concern, and paint as well as coating being seen as typically ‘male’. From this starting point the
sampling of interview persons and the analysis will be intended to problematize such gender-based
product polarization, and our goal is to illustrate the late modern dynamics that actually take place
among women and men with respect to concerns and involvements in the chemical dimension of these
products.
6. Significance
The significance will be threefold: (A) the environmental significance lies in the possibly substantial
environmental and health-related impact of the chemical use in products in the sectors of clothing, toys, and
paint. The fact that both policy development and research of chemistry information and communication still
lag behind other production and service areas implies an urgency of policy and research advancements in
the areas. (B) The socio-cultural and democratic significance is based on the impact on socio-economic
and cultural conditions (both positive and negative), particularly in production of toys and clothing, but also
with regards to paint in some regions. (C) Finally, this project will be of social scientific significance, as
an ultimate purpose is to analyse more general tensions between scientific complexity and information as
well as communication with various actors outside of the laboratories. Hence, advancements of
environmentally-relevant theory of policy processes in science communication will be an important part of
the study.

Qualifications
Education:
Graduate: economics degree (civilekonom) from Stockholm School of Economics 1971.
Post graduate: special student studies in Political Economy at Harvard Univesity (with a grant
from the Stockholm School of Economics) the academic year 1972-1973. My focus at
Harvard was Industrial Organisation and Alternatives to Neo-classical Economics. I also
worked with the local chapter of URPE - the union of radical political economy.
Doctor of Technology (Teknologie Dr) at the Royal Institute of Technology 1995
Diss. on the time pattern of environmental innovation
Professional experience:
1996 Lecturer (lektor) in Enviro-innovation, Ecological Economics, Green Business,
Mesoeconomics, Innovation systems etc. at the Mid-University (Mitthögskolan),
Royal Institute of Technology, the Dala University, University College of Gaevle
etc.
1995- 1996 Post-doc based at the Institute of Political Economy, Carleton University, Ontario,
Canada. During my post-doc I lectured extensively on the dynamic of emerging enviroindustry networks and related themes. My aim was to establish dialogue relations with
actors in the emerging networks as well as academics studying the fledgling tendencies. This
brought me from MIT in Cambridge, Mass. in North-eastern US to University of Alberta,
Edmonton in the Canadian West.
1987 – 1995 Research and teaching at the Dep't of Industrial Economics and Management
(Indec) at the Royal Institute of Technology. I lectured in Production and Work
Organisation at the dep't. The combination of the managerial/technical perspective of Indec
with my work environment interest led to joint research comparing Japanese production
methods with the Volvo-Uddevalla concepts. (See publication with Berggren and
Bjorkman).
The aim of the thesis that I wrote there was to shed light on the socio-economic innovation
process in general and more specifically on the environment innovation process. My cases,
however, dealt only with innovations leading to substitution of toxic substances that harm
work environments and/or the natural environment. In spite of this restriction as regards the
empirical side of the thesis, my ambition was to present a model of the demand-shaping side
of socio-economic innovations with wide applicability. The idea was that different actors in
emerging international business networks could profit from an understanding of the dynamic
of emerging networks, i.e. enviro-industry networks.
1985- 1995 Research at the Swedish Centre for Working Life. on the possibilities for labour
participation in the decisions of firms in research-intensive and globalised branches of
industry. That research formed one starting point for my thesis. The aim was to understand
what role new actors (i.e. unions and environmental groups) could play in innovations and in
6
restructuring of industry. A number of case studies of innovations caused by ecological or
work environment demands were analysed.
1978 -1985 Research and education at the Swedish Factory Workers Union. I worked with
educational programs on industry structure analysis. The Swedish Factory Workers Union
was a union for Chemical Workers etc. Special emphasis of that work was on the
employment consequences of the globalization of the relevant industries.
1976 -1978 Research at the Swedish Secretariat for Future Studies in the project on Resources
and Raw materials
1974 -1976 Research/Investigation (utredare/kanslisekreterare/expert) at the Swedish Ministry
of Industry
Work life experience:
1973 -1974 Metal Worker at Sandvik AB in Stockholm
Experience of interdisciplinary work:
All my research since I worked at the Swedish Secretariat for Future Studies has been
interdisciplinary. In 2003 and 2004 I gave talks on the subject "What I as an economist have
learnt from my mother who was an anthropologist". The latter of the two talks was held at CID
(Center for user oriented IT design) at theRoyal Institute of Technology.
The publications listed in Bilaga C are all based on interdisciplinary work, both between
different social sciences and between social sciences and natural sciences. In some publications such as my diss. - my strong interest in the humanities also becomes evident.

Projekttitel: Förbättrad samverkan i det dubbelriktade flödet av riskrelaterad kemikalieinformation:
Fallstudier av textilier, leksaker och målarfärg
Syfte:
Projektet syftar till att bättre förstå flödena av riskrelaterad kemikalieinformation längs utvalda ”supply
chains” (försörjningskedjor eller produktlivscykler), för att därigenom minska människors och miljös
exponering för potentiellt farliga kemiska ämnen. Projektet vill därefter undersöka hur informationsflödena –
både från producent till konsument och i motsatt riktning – kan förbättras för att, via ett förändrat
beteende/bättre policy vid olika positioner längs försörjningskedjorna, kunna bidra till reducerade risker.
Relevans för hållbar utveckling:
Det moderna samhällets kemikalieanvändning är mycket omfattande och internationell. Ökade kunskaper om
de dubbelriktade informationsflödena och deras förutsättningar kan bidra till såväl enskildas som olika
aktörers ökade motivation och förbättrade förmåga att anpassa sitt beteende/sin policy vad gäller reduktion
av riskerna med potentiellt farliga kemiska ämnen. Det senare inbegriper också substitution i vid bemärkelse.
Beskriv hur arbetssättet är mång- eller tvärvetenskapligt:
Projektet kommer att drivas av fyra seniorforskare med olika disciplinär bakgrund, både från
samhällsvetenskap och naturvetenskap/teknik. Dessa olika ämnesbakgrunder och placeringen vid fyra olika
svenska högskoleinstitutioner gör att det finns en mycket god potential för mång- och tvärvetenskap. Frågan
kring kemikalieinformation kommer att kunna belysas ur såväl övergripande systemperspektiv som ur
lärande- och förståelseperspektiv på olika aktörsnivåer. Samverkan kommer att ske i form av projektmöten,
gemensamt handledda doktorander och gemensam publikation. Särskilt den form av tvärvetenskapligt
sammansatta handledargrupper som bildas kommer att ge doktoranderna i fråga en helt unik möjlighet att
skapa den djupa ämnesintegration som med tiden bidrar till gränsöverskridande och nyskapande forskning.
Ingående huvuddiscipliner/huvudämnen:
Miljösociologi
Miljösystemanalys
Kemididaktik
Ekologisk ekonomi
Vari består det nyskapande samarbetet? Problemformulering-metodutveckling-synergi
Den breddade och fördjupade problemformulering som projektet utgår ifrån är redan den en frukt av ett
ämnesövergripande angreppssätt där sociologiska frågeställningar kompletteras med insikter från
systemanalytiska och naturvetenskapliga perspektiv. Eftersom forskarna inom projektet bidrar med olika
ämnesbakgrunder, institutionella tillhörigheter och forskarnätverk sammanförs ett brett spektrum av
disciplinär kunskap, olika synsätt kring kemikalieproblematiken och en bred teori- och metodkunskap. Detta
innebär att det finns mycket goda möjligheter till ämnesövergripande utveckling av metoder, perspektiv och
teori för att belysa de problemformuleringar som sträcker sig från informationssystemkonstruktion till
förutsättningar för substitution av farliga ämnen. Ett nyskapande element återfinns också i de på
forskningsresultaten baserade tolkningar och teoribidrag som förutses.
