The American Agency of Environingingmental Protection (EPA) has given to know an initiative to reduce the industrial use of 31 chemists prioritarios, with the aim to reach a 10 percent less in three years of the use of one or more than them in all United States.

"Encourage to the companies to accept this challenge. Reduce the volume of the chemists prioritarios in the products would reduce besides the broadcast of toxic chemists and would increase the processes of recycling", signalled Susan Bodine, member of the Office of Solid Waste of United States. This national challenge is sponsored by two programs of the EPA: the initiative National Alliance for Environingingmental Priorities and Way of the Performance in Environingingmental Matter.

The first program is a voluntary project that encourages so much to the Government as to the industry to reduce the use of chemists prioritarios -those that are toxic and that they are persistent in the Environingingment- in his products and waste. It treats , therefore, of a voluntary program in which his members establish his put in different categories, like use of material, power or broadcasts to the atmosphere, in a firm commitment with the improvement of the environingingment.
