Harmful Substances Eliminated: The Safer Choice Initiative Announces the Removal of dangerous chemicals from household products.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) introduces the Safer Choice program, a valuable initiative designed to help consumers, businesses, and purchasers find products with safer ingredients for human health and the environment.

The program offers a distinctive symbol, the Safer Choice Label, which signifies that a product meets the Safer Choice Standard - a set of criteria that products must adhere to in order to be certified. This standard ensures that the products are safer for both human health and the environment.

Safer Choice provides an extensive range of resources for product manufacturers. These resources help them create products that meet the Safer Choice Standard. In addition to the fact sheets, the program offers Design for the Environment (DfE) Alternatives Assessments and DfE for Pesticides to aid manufacturers in creating safer products.

The program also maintains The Safer Chemical Ingredients List (SCIL), a list of chemicals that Safer Choice has determined to be safer for human health and the environment. Manufacturers can list their chemicals on the SCIL if they meet Safer Choice's criteria. It's important to note that mention of trade names, companies, or commercial products on the Safer Choice website does not imply endorsement or recommendation.

For those interested in learning more about the Safer Choice program, resources are available. These include a media kit for further information and videos for users to watch. The program's website also offers a search function, allowing users to browse Safer Choice-Certified Products and DfE-Certified Disinfectants.

It's worth noting that links to external websites are provided for user convenience, but the EPA cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided by these links. Additionally, the search results do not provide information about which company or person was named "Partner of the Year" by Safer Choice in 2021.

The Safer Choice program offers a variety of certified products, including All-Purpose Cleaners, Car Care Products, Dish Soaps, Floor Cleaners, Laundry Products, and Tub and Tile Cleaners.
