(American Chemical Society) On January 1, the U.S. Senate passed the omnibus National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Within the NDAA Bill, Section E was the culmination of over 15 years of advocacy effort to deliver legislation that seeks to further the development of sustainable chemistry. Many thanks to the Bill’s sponsors Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del.; Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine; Rep. John Moolenaar, R-Mich.; and Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Ill., whose support is critical to the future of sustainable chemical sciences. Many thanks also to our ACS Advocacy colleagues who have patiently worked on multiple iterations of the Act with multiple politicians over the years, as well as to the broader green chemistry community for supporting this effort in recent years.
