Save Chrome Plating in California

CARB Has Announced Its Plan to Ban Chrome Plating in California!

Join us on August 10th, 2022 to learn more about this proposal and what you can do to take action to prevent this terrible outcome. This CARB ATCM is a complete overreach of regulation and will lead to lost jobs and businesses moving out of state or closing. This zoom webinar, open to all members and non-members, will provide an update on what the Metal Finishing Association of California has done to date and what future action is in the works. We need everyone impacted by this CARB rule to participate and learn what they can do now to save their business and the California industry.

We will have time for Q&A to answer your questions and concerns. Below are bullet points on the CARB rule and the zoom link to participate.

No signup is required. Please forward this to anyone in the industry that should participate!

CARB is proposing an update to the CrVI ATCM that will:

• Prohibit new facility permits on January 1, 2024.
• Ban decorative chrome plating on January 1, 2026.
• Ban hard chrome plating and chromic acid anodizing on January 1, 2039.

⚠️ This action would supersede SCAQMD’s Rule 1469 ⚠️
