What a year 2018 was in the cleaning industry! While the tariff situation between the U.S. and other countries was the probably the biggest news, we also saw:
- California Assembly Bill AB-10 come into effect requiring schools to provide free feminine hygiene products
- Minimum wages were increased across the country
- China stopped taking most of our recyclables
- An expansion to California’s Prop 65 requiring specific language be added to labels & signage when certain chemical compounds are present
- Cleaning ingredient transparency regulations are being enacted in several states
In 2019, we at WAXIE foresee legislation & technology building upon the foundations from last year and advancing towards implementation.
