Mexican Environmental Ministry launches voluntary chemicals management agreement

On 15 April the Mexican Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) convened a meeting to launch a new program, the National Voluntary Agreement for Comprehensive Management of Chemicals (NVA). According to Semarnat, the program moves Mexico towards compliance with the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management. During the initial NVA meeting, the National Association of Chemical Industry and two leading environmental companies signed the voluntary agreement, and Semarnat expects others to follow. The ministry said it will host forums across the country to draw attention and support to the initiative (Recycling Laws International, 24 April 2014).
