Product Discontinuation
Developing the procedures, protocols and industry standards for biotechnology product discontinuation in the marketplace is a key end point within the plant biotechnology lifecycle. New plant biotechnology products are routinely developed and older products taken out of production by the manufacturer as a normal and predictable part of a product’s lifecycle. The product discontinuation program in Canada outlines a number of key steps that a company needs to undertake to effectively remove a product from the marketplace.
CropLife Canada and the Canadian Seed Trade Association has developed a product discontinuation checklist to help members of the plant biotechnology industry facilitate taking a product off the market. This checklist is consistent with the Excellence Through Stewardship guidelines and is a demonstration of the industry’s commitment to full lifecycle product stewardship.
