US EPA to 'rebuild' Safer Choice programme

摘要

The US EPA has committed to "rebuilding" its Safer Choice programme and shifting agency personnel to support the popular scheme that recognises products made with safer ingredients. The agency's renewed focus on the programme follows a February request from a broad coalition of industry, state and environmental NGOs requesting that the agency "fully restore" it to its previous staffing levels, citing concern that during the previous four years, "resources and leadership have been drained from this critical programme".
