The Chemical Show: Where Leaders Talk Business

Science continues to shape the cleaning products industry, but trust and pragmatism are driving real decisions. Host Victoria King Meyer reports back from the American Cleaning Institute’s 100th annual conference, highlighting five essential themes impacting chemical and cleaning product businesses. 


From scalable sustainable solutions and the power of consumer-driven labeling to the need for clearer regulatory pathways, industry leaders are focused on connecting chemistry and biology to practical needs. These insights provide a smart look at how cleaning product companies are balancing innovation, consumer expectations, and regulatory hurdles as they work to grow and adapt in 2026. 

 

Victoria examines these topics in this week: 
  • The force shaping industry direction 
  • Adapting to a shifting business landscape 
  • Building stronger consumer connections 
  • Evolving approaches to product effectiveness 
  • Navigating today’s competitive environment 
 
 
Killer Quote: "So if I was going to talk about one overall theme, and this is the theme that's going to run through everything I talk about today, it's science." - Victoria Meyer
