Support the New Safer Chemicals Senate Bill

Your business voice is needed to support the Senate’s Safer Chemicals Act of 2011, a comprehensive reform of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) of 1976.The core federal law designed to ensure the safety of chemicals has not changed in 34 years. The TSCA, created to give the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the ability to identify and regulate dangerous chemicals, is simply ineffective, out of date, and in desperate need of reform.

In coordination with our partners at the American Sustainable Business Council, this campaign will ensure higher levels of public health, prevent environmental damage caused by toxic chemicals, improve customer confidence, expand the markets for safer products, and make U.S. businesses more accountable and competitive on a global scale.

Green America urges you to add your name to the growing list of signers in support of the Safer Chemicals Act of 2011:

Sign on now to support the Safer Chemicals Act

There is a strong business case for comprehensive TSCA reform:

  • Levelling the playing field, by requiring existing chemicals to meet the same testing requirements as new chemicals.
  • Creating a more predictable regulatory system.
  • Reducing the costs and risks, especially product liability (for example, asbestos), associated with managing toxic chemicals in products across supply chains.
  • Lowering expenses from chemically induced employee illness and enhancing productivity from improved employee health.
  • Identifying the presence of chemicals of high concern in products

Your business voice is absolutely essential in our efforts to regulate hazardous chemicals and drive innovative and business profits through meaningful public policy.
