Here are the reasons we choose to use Safer Choice products and why you benefit!
What is the EPA Safer Choice Program?
EPA Safer Choice is a federal labeling program that enables consumers to find products that meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Standard as a “Safer Choice” for people and pets. The program classifies ingredients as a very low toxicity and chemicals which use only these ingredients get this label. Safer Choice products can be found on a variety of items including all-purpose cleaners, bathroom cleaners, carpet cleaners, floor care products, laundry products, fragrances, and more.
Criteria for a Safer Choice Products
Safer Choice products must use ingredients that are deemed low-toxicity and safe for human health and the environment (including fish). In addition, the product performance must be comparable to that of conventional products. Packaging must be sustainable and the chemical must also meet pH standards that minimize the potential for skin and eye injury. Lastly, the volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) present in the chemical must be minimal to lessen indoor air pollution and reduce respiratory concerns for users. Safer Choice partners are required to undergo annual reviews such as on-site audits to ensure compliance with program requirements.
