About the Project
Two New Reports:
“Presumption of Safety: Limits of Federal Policies on Toxic Substances in Consumer Products” (.pdf file). This report identifies four reasons why the regulatory system for protecting the public from toxic substances in toys and other products is inadequate, allowing potentially harmful products to end up on store shelves.
"Options for State Chemicals Policy Reform: A Resource Guide" Executive Summary (.pdf file). Intended for state policmakers, this report outlines a range of chemical policy options to protect health and environment while stimulating innovation, and safer chemistry and products.
The objectives of the Chemicals Policy Initiative are to:
- Significantly advance policy dialogue on reforming chemicals policy in the United States.
- Assist in the development of sustainable chemicals management outside of the U.S.
- Encourage the development and use of safer alternatives by creating and promoting a comprehensive framework for alternatives assessment
- Identify tools and appropriate ways of assisting green chemistry innovation and safer supply chain management of chemicals.
