Public Comments

12 / 16 April 4, 2022 To the Joint Public Advisory Committee, The Household & Commercial Products Association1 (HCPA) appreciates the opportunity to offer comments during the public consultation on a new initiative by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) that seeks to advance supply chain transparency with regard to chemicals used in products. [...] This law has not only improved the transparency of cleaning and disinfecting products for people in California but has become the de facto standard across the United States and even provides benefits to those in Canada and Mexico because the ingredient information for these products is available online for anyone to review. [...] For this project to be successful, HCPA believes that either the scope needs to be narrowed and aligned with the appropriate government agencies amongst the three countries; or the number of government agencies involved in the activity needs to be significantly expanded to encompass the requisite entities the right expertise and responsibility. [...] Transparency for circularity does not generally refer to transparency of ingredients in products but rather, the transparency of the methodology used to determine a product’s contribution to the circular economy.
