ETTAC

About the ETTAC

The Environmental Technologies Trade Advisory Committee (ETTAC) was established by Congress in 1994 under the Jobs through Trade Expansion Act to advise the interagency Environmental Trade Working Group of the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee, through the Secretary of Commerce, on U.S. Government policies and activities to advance U.S. environmental goods and services exports.

The Committee was most recently re-chartered in August 2022 for a two-year term. The ETTAC is comprised of senior executives who were appointed by Secretary Raimondo in February and represent all facets of the environmental technologies industry, including the water and wastewater treatment, air pollution monitoring and control, and solid waste management and recycling sectors.
