The Business-NGO Working Group promotes the creation and adoption of safer chemicals and sustainable materials in a way that supports market transitions to a healthy economy, healthy environment, and healthy people.
Product formulators, manufacturers, retailers, state and local governments, health care organizations and consumers are searching for products made with chemicals that have low toxicity and degrade into innocuous substances in the environment. Due to the lack of government action, they are often unable to determine what chemicals are in their products, what hazards they may pose, and whether safer alternatives are on the market. Public policies need to address these shortcomings and companies are speaking out to influence new chemicals policy initiatives.
