Clean Chemistry and Materials
Coalition 2024 Progress

2024 was the first year OIA asked members of the Clean Chemistry and Materials Coalition (CCMC) to report on their progress. In the inaugural progress reports, CCMC Members showed company commitments to cleaner, safer chemistry. Since the inception of CCMC in Summer 2023, the outdoor industry has come together to phase out per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), champion safer chemistry in the supply chain, and switch to safer chemical and material alternatives when possible. Creating a robust chemicals management system is a long and complex process, but CCMC members have already made amazing progress.
