EPA Seeking Applications For 2018 Safer Choice Partner Of The Year Awards
On April 25, 2018, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced it was seeking applications for the 2018 Safer Choice Partner of the Year Awards in a notice in the Federal Register. At the 2018 Partner of the Year Awards, Safer Choice will recognize stakeholder organizations from five broad categories:
- Formulators/Product Manufacturers of both Consumer and Institutional/Industrial products;
- Purchasers and Distributors;
- Retailers;
- Supporters (e.g., non-governmental organizations); and
- Innovators (e.g., chemical manufacturers).
EPA states it developed the Partner of the Year Awards to recognize Safer Choice stakeholders “who have advanced the goals of the Pollution Prevention Act by reducing pollution at its source through safer chemistry.” All applications and accompanying materials must be received by Wednesday, June 27, 2018. Award winners will be recognized at a ceremony in the fall of 2018. See also “EPA To Hold Safer Choice Partner & Stakeholder Summit 2018."
