U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo recently appointed 42 industry, business, and civil society leaders to the Environmental Technologies Trade Advisory Committee (ETTAC) to advise on ways that U.S. government programs and activities can strengthen the competitiveness of the U.S. environmental technologies industry. The appointees will serve a two-year term, advocating for the interests of American businesses and workers while promoting the expansion of U.S. environmental technology exports.

“The U.S. environmental technologies sector represents $432 billion in revenue and employs 1.8 million American workers – making it a vital industry for driving innovation and positioning the United States as a global leader in environmental technologies,” said Secretary Raimondo. “I look forward to receiving the committee’s recommendations on approaches for how the Department can continue supporting the competitiveness of American environmental technologies.”

The ETTAC was established pursuant to statute in 1994 to advise the Secretary of Commerce on the development and administration of programs to foster U.S. exports of environmental technologies, goods and services.
