The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a mandate of protecting every family’s health and the environment. One of the programs it launched to fulfill this responsibility is the Safer Choice Standards.
It was initially established as the Design for the Environment (DfE) label, but has since been improved to collect and include the ideas of stakeholders, including those of product manufacturers and environment and health advocates. The rebranded Safer Choice Standards, which are adhered to by the same stakeholders, arose from such initiative.
Accreditation by the Safer Choice Standards entails the submission to the EPA of information regarding the process and ingredients. The agency then rigorously evaluates cleaning and other chemical products’ ingredients, composition, formulation, and attributes. EPA ensures that these elements do not have an adverse impact on health and nature.
The Safer Choice review is especially discriminating, and at the same time, protective. Its assessment methodology and technical review team make the program highly skilled in analyzing chemical hazard, applying predictive tools, and determining safer and better substitutes for chemicals found to be harmful.
