WASHINGTON, DC (Nov. 5, 2025) – The American Chemistry Council (ACC) Board of Directors approved the addition of five new Manufacturing members and one Associate member at its November Board of Directors meeting today. The Board also approved two new Responsible Care^® Partners.

“As challenges and opportunities grow, so does the value that ACC can deliver to our members,” said ACC President and CEO, Chris Jahn. “With every new member, we help create a stronger, more unified voice for the U.S. business of chemistry. At the same time, we advance the commitment we share to continuous performance improvement under Responsible Care—which is good for the environment, good for our customers, and good for the bottom line.”

The Manufacturing members approved are:

• Alpek Polyester, USA LLC, a global leader in the production of PTA (Purified Terephthalic Acid), PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) resins, PET recycling (rPET), specialty polymers, and polyester fibers. This integrated business services customers all over the world using its global network of manufacturing entities.
• CarbonFree Holdings, LLC, a producer of sustainable, essential chemicals from circular raw materials — minerals without mining. Its patented SkyCycle™ technology captures CO₂ from industrial point sources and combines it with calcium derived from steel slag to create pure, carbon-negative calcium carbonate for use in paints, plastics, food, and pharmaceutical products.
• Nexus Circular LLC, leading commercial pyrolysis-based advanced recycler. The company utilizes a proprietary technology and patented process to convert landfill-bound plastics into high-quality materials for global companies who use them to create new circular plastics and other products, displacing fossil-based resources to support their sustainability commitments.
• Symrise AG, a producer of flavorings, fragrances, and cosmetic ingredients for a wide range of manufacturers in the food, beverage, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries. Its products are mainly derived, either from green chemical synthesis or from natural raw materials such as vanilla, fruits, vegetable and flowers.
• Teleos Ag Solutions, Inc., the exclusive, global provider of 1,3-Dichloropropene (sold under the brand name TELONE™) by Teleos and is a subsidiary of TriCal Soil Solutions, leveraging over 50 years of experience in soil fumigation and soil health.

The new Associate member is:

• Alvarez and Marsal, which provides business performance, improvement and turnaround advisory management services to catapult growth and accelerate results.

The Responsible Care partners approved are:

• Continental Tank Lines, a specialized chemical product transporter with over 35 years of experience serving customers domestically and internationally.
• Circle Logistics, a freight broker providing logistics solutions to a wide array of customers in the continental United States, Canada, and Mexico across all modes of transportation (dry van, flatbed, reefer, expedite, oversize and air).

ACC’s Responsible Care Partner program extends Responsible Care’s ethic of safety and sustainability to organizations in the chemical supply chain, including logistics, transportation and distribution, among others. Partners adhere to the same Responsible Care commitments as ACC Manufacturing Members.
