Michigan Chemistry Council

Kudos to Hemlock Semiconductor for partnering on local workforce and transit needs! @hscpoly is a leading Michigan manufacturer.

The Lenawee chemistry collaborative of @AndDevCompany, @WackerChemCorp, and @Evonik recently partnered to host a @chem_ed challenge in their community. Chemistry actively supports local communities and development of the next generation of talent! lenaweenow.org/the-future-of-…

MCC members are invited to join a special membership meeting on Friday, March 10th to introduce our new Executive Director and review several minor changes to organizational bylaws. All MCC members are encouraged to participate in-person, remotely, through a designee, or by proxy

We are also delighted to announce the MCC's new Executive Director, Sara Cambensy. Sara most recently served in the MI House representing the Marquette area. Sara is a recognized leader with a record of working across the aisle to advance good policy & represent her constituents

Today, the @MiChemCouncil and @MIManufacturers announced a new formal affiliation to strengthen advocacy efforts on behalf of the business of chemistry and Michigan's manufacturing sector. mimfg.org/Articles/mma-a…

“As the legislative session begins in a new political environment, there are numerous bipartisan opportunities to promote these policies, and we will be actively engaged in the legislative and regulatory arenas to get things done.”

“The business of chemistry is dedicated to providing solutions to our world and advocates for making Michigan a stronger, safer, and more sustainable place to do business,” said @MiChemCouncil Executive Director John Dulmes.

Even in a virtual format, we are excited for our 2023 Policy Day and some great conversations with key Michigan leaders today. Thanks to all our sponsors!

Calcium chloride, made by @WeAreOxy in Ludington, is one of the world's toughest deicers. CaCl2 is more effective than regular salt because it can work with less moisture & is exothermic (it can generate its own heat) and work down to -25°F. youtube.com/watch?v=RK6wuD…

Today Republic Services unveiled the industry’s first fully integrated electric recycling and waste collection truck, which will begin operations this fall. We have made the industry’s largest commitment to fleet electrification.

The Michigan Chemistry Council told @EPA that listing #PVC as a RCRA hazardous substance would undermine recycling because it put "dramatic regulatory burdens" on companies handling vinyl waste.

Thank you to @WackerChemCorp for sharing more with us about progress toward achieving sustainable firefighting foams for challenging chemistries! It was great to hear industry's perspective on leading and collaborating for sustainable solutions. youtube.com/watch?v=GvU2-w…

Chemistry is a huge economic driver for our state and the key enabler to a more sustainable future. theverge.com/2023/2/13/2359…
