In letters sent to President-Elect Donald Trump and all members of the 119th Congress, the American Cleaning Institute (ACI) outlined several policy priorities to help ensure and enhance the availability of critical products and chemistries for the American people and the manufacturing sector at large.
The letters highlight the following 2025 Policy Priorities:
- New Chemicals: ACI recommends the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) abide by the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) statute and complete Pre-Manufacture Notice (PMN) new chemical reviews consistently and within the required 90 to 180-day deadline.
- Taxes: ACI supports efforts to preserve the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax policies to ensure the U.S. cleaning products industry maintains global competitiveness and a conducive business environment to support innovation, good-paying jobs, and affordable and safe cleaning products for families and businesses.
- Safer Choice Program: Supports EPA’s Safer Choice program and recommends that Congress and the Administration retain this successful program.
- Recycling & Plastic: ACI supports efforts to increase recycling accessibility through improvements to recycling data collection and infrastructure as well as implementation of achievable and effective extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs.
- Packaging Labeling: ACI supports up-to-date, accurate and easily accessible ingredient information on product packages to help consumers make the best choices on cleaning products tailored to their personal needs.
ACI’s mission to advance the health and quality of life of people and to protect our planet will guide the association’s priorities over the next four years, including critical priorities for collaboration with the Trump Administration and the 119th Congress.
