Скачать или смотреть ACS Science & the Congress Project Webinar: The U.S. Chemical Supply Chain - Pandemic Impacts

Please watch this special webinar presentation from The ACS Science & the Congress Project and the U.S. Pharmacopeia. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the chemical industry in the United States has continued operating; however, the pandemic has exposed concerns about the industry’s supply chain. With increased demand for certain chemical products, such as the materials required for the production of hand sanitizers, the United States has experienced inflexibility in altering or increasing production. The “just-in-time” manufacturing approach that many companies previously adopted has led to challenges. Problems also have been seen in the specialty chemical and pharmaceutical industries, which had outsourced many of their operations overseas. The United States has been at risk of not being able to obtain or produce the products it critically needs—such as personal protective equipment, medications, and medical equipment. This panel will explore real life experiences, systemic concerns, and possible policy responses.
