Session Info

As state and federal governments implement new laws and regulations aimed at identifying and developing alternatives to harmful ingredients in industrial and consumer products, customer interest and activism in this area is also growing. In an age where information is often at customers’ fingertips, and end users push concerns up the supply chain to original manufacturers, it is important to understand how these trends may impact your business and as a consumer. Hear from top representatives of the State of California, industry and the environmental community on the state of play and what to expect next in this quickly evolving area.
