Walmart starts promised chemicals policy

Walmart has informed dozens of product manufacturers throughout its supply chain that it is implementing its new chemicals policy that will phase out hazardous chemicals from its consumer products. Walmart announced the policy last year.
The Policy on Sustainable Chemistry in Consumables provides a description of what it calls priority chemicals. Priority chemicals are substances with certain hazardous properties that can affect human health, and/or the environment. The policy covers consumer products like health and beauty aids; cosmetics and skincare; baby care products; pet supplies; and household laundry and cleaning products (Environmental Leader, 28 February 2014).
