Science - Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng / Sustainable management of chemical waste
English term or phrase: \"Users further downstream\" (figuratively)
I'm working on the results of a focus group regarding the sustainable management of chemical waste. Here is the sentence:


"This will need the cooperation and partnership with chemical producing industries as well as those downstream users of chemicals."


I have:

Esto demandará la cooperación y colaboración con industrias químicas junto con aquellos usuarios más adelante en el proceso.

I don't think "usuarios" is necessarily correct, and I'm not sure if my translation of downstream is accurate enough. Thanks.

neutral  Neil Ashby: consumidores al final = end users, the source doesn't say they are necessarily "end users" this would be more specifc than the original.

Explanation:
Utilizaría aquí una paráfrasis, para facilitar la lectura en castellano de downstream; desde... hasta, o bien tanto... como. Y me referiría específicamente a los downstream users of chemicals como los usuarios finales de los productos químicos aludidos.

Esto precisará la cooperación y el establecimiento de alianzas con los agentes implicados, desde la industria química hasta el usuario final de dichos productos.

Esto precisará la cooperación y el establecimiento de alianzas tanto con la industria química como con los usuarios finales de dichos productos
