EPA Updates Safer Chemical Ingredients List<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is adding 10 chemicals to the Safer Chemical Ingredients List (SCIL). The SCIL is a living list of chemicals that EPA\u2019s Safer Choice program has evaluated and determined meet Safer Choice criteria<\/a>. With this update, there are a total of 1,071 chemicals on the SCIL, which are among the safest for their functional use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SCIL provides increased transparency in safer chemistry, helps companies find safer chemical alternatives and increases innovation and growth of safer products. In support of the Biden-Harris Administration\u2019s goals, the addition of chemicals to the SCIL incentivizes further innovation in safer chemistry, which can promote environmental justice, bolster resilience to the impacts of climate change, and improve water quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SCIL is a resource that can help many different stakeholders including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
