Interstate Chemicals Clearinghouse Alternatives Assessment Guide- Version 1.2

An alternatives assessment is a set of tools that manufacturers, product designers, businesses, governments, and other interested parties can use to make better, more informed decisions about the use of toxic chemicals in their products or processes. 

To reflect evolving best practices, the IC2 has published version 1.2 of the Alternatives Assessment (AA) Guide. This update strengthens guidance on evaluating chemical hazards and the availability of safer alternatives, while newly integrating environmental justice and climate change considerations into the AA process.
