 The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the project on emerging nanotechnologies developed the Nanotechnology Consumer Products Inventory, CPI, in 2005 to document the marketing and distribution of nano-enabled products into the commercial marketplace. This initiative was driven by the need to identify and track the increasing presence of nanotechnology in everyday consumer products. The goal was to create a reliable source of information about the products containing nanomaterials and to provide a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of nanotechnology in consumer products. The original inventory was updated in 2013 with the addition of eight new descriptors for consumer products, including information pertaining to the nanomaterials contained in each product. Additionally, the project was motivated by the recognition that a diverse group of stakeholders from academia, industry, and states slash federal government had become highly dependent on the inventory as an important resource and bellwether of the pervasiveness of nanotechnology in society. Interviews were conducted with 68 nanotechnology experts to assess key information needs. These responses helped guide inventory modifications by This article was authored by Marina E.
