Green Chemistry is happening now and is already changing the way major corporations and green-tech start-ups are designing the products people use every day. With the upcoming reform of TSCA - originally passed in 1976 - is there a need to put greater emphasis on safety and public health when it comes to a new chemicals policy in the United States? Learn why TSCA is so important to your business, your health and the environment - and the future of green chemistry.
