The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) heard from a number of speakers and presenters focused on green building topics and sustainability at the AAMA 80th Annual Conference in Phoenix, Feb. 12-15. Participants heard upcoming changes to California's Proposition 65, as well as an overview of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), the importance of sustainable cities and the manufacturer's role in reaching consumers.
Prop 65 Regulations and Amendments
John Nolan of the Gary Law Group spoke about California Prop 65 and the changes expected in 2018. Prop 65 covers the warning for certain chemicals that the state has deemed potentially harmful, calling for specific labeling to warn consumers. However, some of the warning language and Prop 65 definitions will change before a revised version goes into effect Aug. 30, 2018.
