The chemical science community is making the world a better place. We're here to help.
Our community's impact is incredible. Developing medicines, vaccines and diagnostics when the world needs them most. Keeping our food and water safe, clean and in good supply. Creating revolutionary technologies to generate and store clean energy. Inspiring generations of young minds, helping them forge their paths to fulfilling careers and lives. And so much more.
Our strategy sets out how we will help the chemical science community: to teach and learn; to discover and share; to practise and accomplish; to speak up and be heard.
Together, we will make the world more open, more sustainable, and more equal.
The American Chemistry Council (ACC) represents the U.S. chemical manufacturing industry — a $673 billion enterprise that strengthens national competitiveness and supports 547,000 skilled American jobs.
Through science-based federal policy advocacy, regulatory engagement, and collaboration across the public and private sectors, ACC advances innovation, infrastructure development, and more, making the United States a leader in chemical and plastics manufacturing.
The business of chemistry contributes to the U.S. economy by:
• Supporting high-skilled manufacturing jobs across the country
• Driving research, product innovation, and safety performance
• Providing materials essential to energy, infrastructure, healthcare, and supply chains
As the premier trade association representing the U.S. chemical manufacturing industry, ACC leads its members through Responsible Care, regulatory clarity and responsible leadership.
The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) is the only association that supports the entire plastics supply chain. Founded in 1937, we have a track record of fostering collaboration between each industry segment and evolving alongside the plastics industry as a whole.
With the increased attention on plastic material, our association is here to connect companies throughout the entire industry supply chain and encourage innovation to meet the needs of tomorrow. We’ve expanded the resources and tools available to members, to help us come together and help positively shape the future for a sustainable plastics industry.
Join us to protect, promote, and grow the plastics industry.
