Webinar: Chemical Ingredient Transparency in Products

May 20, 2020 BizNGO Events Webinars & Videos

State governments, who are at the frontline of fighting COVID-19, are also at the frontline of requiring businesses to disclose chemical ingredients in their products to consumers and public agencies. From California to New York consumers are demanding, and states are requiring, that companies to disclose chemicals in cleaning, children’s, cosmetics, menstrual, and other products. But what are these disclosure requirements? And what can we learn from them?

The Northeast Waste Management Officials’ Associations’ Interstate Chemicals Clearinghouse (NEWMOA’s IC2) and Clean Production Action (CPA) partnered to review more than 10 public policies that require the disclosure of chemicals in products and one industry standard in their new report, Chemical Ingredient Transparency in Products.

Learn how state governments and an industry standard are requiring the disclosure of:

• ALL chemical ingredients in a product category, such as cleaning products (with limited exceptions for confidential business information).
• Chemicals, or classes of chemicals, of concern in products, such as requirements to disclose mercury and mercury compounds in nearly all products.
• Chemicals of concern in a category of products, such as children’s products.
