What is the CCMC?
Designed to support retailers, brands, manufacturers, and distributors in a way that’s unique to their product category and life stage, the Clean Chemistry and Materials Coalition (CCMC) provides OIA members with a scalable action plan for eliminating and replacing harmful chemicals and materials, delivering supply chain transparency, recycling and emission disclosures and more. Our goal is to support members as they innovate on sustainability and build consumer trust in their favorite brands. Members of the CCMC are blazing the trail in the innovation and adoption of safer chemicals that deliver functional, durable, and trustworthy materials and products to our customers.
