Vinyl Institute Statement on EPA’s Draft Scope of Vinyl Chloride Risk Evaluation
WASHINGTON, D.C., January 15, 2024 – The Vinyl Institute (VI), a U.S. trade association representing the leading manufacturers of vinyl, released the following statement to be attributed to Ned Monroe, president and CEO of the Vinyl Institute:
“EPA’s draft scope for the risk evaluation of vinyl chloride under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) is an expected next step in this multi-year process. The newly formed Chlor-Vinyl Industry Alliance is uniquely positioned to convey pertinent data and sound science from the entire vinyl value chain to EPA during the TSCA risk evaluation. We look forward to submitting comments in the weeks ahead. The VI’s commitment to collaborating with EPA will continue as we welcome in a new Administration in the coming days.”
