The Chemical Leasing (ChL) approach is a new and innovative instrument to promote sustainable management of chemicals and close the material cycles between suppliers and users of chemicals ("closing the loops"). The United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) plays the leading and coordinating role for the implementation and further development of ChL.
