Workshop Will Help Companies Avoid Costly Regulatory Delays
The number of Significant New Use Rules (SNUR) issued by EPA has greatly increased in recent months, causing long and costly delays for companies trying to market biobased chemicals and products. The Biobased and Renewable Products Advocacy Group (BRAG™) is holding a workshop to help companies avoid these delays by explaining how, when, and to which entity or entities in the value chain the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) applies, and what a renewable chemical innovator must do to comply with TSCA's requirements.
Presented by the Biobased and Renewable Products Advocacy Group in conjunction with the Society for the Commercial Development of Industrial Biotechnology
2:30-5:30 p.m., November 11, 2013, at the Chemical Heritage Foundation Center in Philadelphia, PA
Innovation is great, but commercializing innovations is even better. BRAG's Washington, D.C.-based team of government affairs experts, scientists, lawyers, and public policy managers will present a workshop to identify and discuss critical policy, legislative, and regulatory issues impacting the commercialization of renewable chemicals. Attendees will engage in focused discussions on current regulatory issues impacting the market, as well as a robust dialogue on expectations for the evolution of policy considerations from varied players, including those from academia, environmental groups, Capitol Hill, and EPA.
Join us at the beautiful Chemical Heritage Foundation's Library, Museum, and Conference Center in Philadelphia's historic district for this essential workshop prior to the 2nd International SCD-iBIO Commercializing Global Green Forum. For more information and to register click here.
