Nearly every company involved in the chemical industry doing business in the U.S. is impacted by Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulations to some degree (with some exceptions among food, drug, cosmetic, nuclear and pesticides companies). Raw materials, intermediates, finished goods and some articles are all regulated by TSCA. Full lifecycle, or cradle to grave, compliance is an essential component of TSCA, as most manufacturing, importing, processing and disposal activities are TSCA regulated.
