Day 1 of #GlobalChem2025 is here! We’re starting things off with our pre-conference TSCA Workshops—diving into key issues around chemicals management, TSCA implementation, and what’s ahead for TSCA. Looking forward to a great week of dialogue, collaboration and networking. Learn more: https://ow.ly/8eie50VA7pa

#Polyurethane materials are key building blocks in some of our most useful products, including building materials, furniture cushions, coatings, apparel and footwear. From tank containers to rail tank cars, this newly translated #SafeHandlingVideoSeries is designed to help inform French-speaking employers and employees of potential hazards associated with the handling of #polyurethane materials and best practices to minimize potential risks. https://lnkd.in/ebMRpXNW

Microorganisms can pose risks to human health, causing illnesses like E. coli, malaria and more. But we can fight back thanks to antimicrobials. These vital #chemistries can help keep places like schools, airplanes, daycares free of microorganisms and germs and in turn, keep you healthy.

At the Congressional Building & Construction showcase cohosted with the Chemistry Caucus, industry leaders demonstrated how chemistry is helping to improve homes & our nation’s infrastructure. We need smarter policies build a stronger, more affordable America. Learn more about how chemistry is shaping the future in our latest blog. https://ow.ly/xhXM50VsJvs #ChemistryCreates

GlobalChem 2025 is fast approaching! Join us April 14-16 in Washington, DC for the chemical industry’s premier policy conference. This annual gathering offers a valuable opportunity to not only review recent developments in #TSCA and chemicals management regulations but also to meet and reconnect with experts and officials. Thank you to Enhesa (Chemical Watch) for their continued support as GlobalChem media sponsor! Don’t miss out! Register now to be part of the industry’s premier event: https://ow.ly/VVli50VrORn

I recently sat down with POLITICO for an executive Q&A to tackle the big questions about how our industry fits in the Trump Administration’s priorities, what’s needed to regain our competitive edge, and the potential ripples in the larger economy if there isn’t more regulatory certainty. There’s a direct line between the success of our sector and the success of the American manufacturing economy. Chemistry is at the beginning and end of the manufacturing supply chain and nearly everywhere in between. That's why our country’s competitiveness and future depend on making more chemistry here at home. Learn more in my Q&A in Politico: https://ow.ly/gsB350VqOpz #ChemistryCreates

America’s economy runs on chemistry. From creating domestic jobs and everyday products to supporting national priorities, a stronger, more affordable country starts with American chemistry. Learn more in ACC President & CEO Chris Jahn's Q&A in POLITICO: https://ow.ly/jfhi50VqFv5 #ChemistryCreates

American chemistry is proud to be part of this diverse group of businesses and industries urging policymakers to #PermitAmericaToBuild. #ChemistryCreates

Honored to talk with U.S. Senator Ted Cruz a strong champion in the effort to repeal excise taxes that continue to increase costs on consumers and businesses. Pass the Chemical Tax Repeal Act (S. 615)! #ChemistryCreates https://ow.ly/YBIN50Vqnhc

NHL star Wayne Gretzky once said, “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” When it comes to rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure, policymakers have repeatedly missed their shot when it comes to building stronger and better infrastructure. It’s time to take a real shot at finding a better and new approach to fixing America’s infrastructure - one that involves chemistry. When it comes to rebuilding infrastructure, the role of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) doesn’t typically spring to mind, especially the agency’s chemical review program. But it should. TSCA new chemical reviews, which are supported by industry fees, require the EPA to consider the safety of new chemical products before they go to market. These reviews are required by law to be completed within 90 days of submission. Despite that clear requirement, EPA chemical reviews often take years instead of months to complete. Right now, there are 445 new chemicals under review by EPA, while only 38 are active and have not exceeded the 90-day statutory deadline. This means EPA is “making” less than 10% of the shots – and that’s an abysmal record. Policymakers need to put on the gloves and get in the game to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure. Our future depends on infrastructure built with American chemistry. Read my op-ed in The Washington Times: https://lnkd.in/etCRyPcx. #ChemistryCreates
