Growing environmental risks in logistics highlighted by US toxic train situation
A recent train derailment in Ohio carrying toxic chemicals has highlighted the increasing environmental risks in global supply chains. Governments worldwide have launched over 1,600 regulatory initiatives for chemicals like those involved in the incident, posing challenges for companies that manufacture and distribute products using these substances. The vinyl chloride spill from the train derailment is an example of the supply chain risks that businesses face, as the chemical is widely used in consumer products such as plastic packaging, pipes, textiles, vinyl siding, and flooring.
