This week, EPA announced its Safer Choice Partner of the Year award winners, and Toxic-Free Future is proud to be an award recipient!
“We all deserve to clean our homes, schools and other facilities with cleaning products that use safer ingredients, like those that have earned EPA’s Safer Choice label,” said EPA Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention Deputy Assistant Administrator for Pollution Prevention Jennie Romer. “I want to congratulate this year’s Safer Choice Partner of the Year award winners for going above and beyond to protect public health and the environment and to show their support for making products with safer ingredients accessible for all people.”
Products certified under the Safer Choice program must meet certain safety standards. They cannot contain chemical ingredients that are known to contribute to most human health and environmental problems. That means no carcinogens, reproductive toxins, or brain-damaging chemicals, or chemicals that harm aquatic life, for example.
“Toxic-Free Future is recognized as an outstanding Safer Choice supporter. Toxic-Free Future updated their Retailer Report Card to encourage retailers to sell, highlight, and report on Safer Choice-certified products. Toxic-Free Future highlighted Safer Choice on social media and in blogs. In addition, Toxic-Free Future worked with the Washington Department of Ecology to recognize Safer Choice certification as an indicator of safer solutions to chemicals of concern.”
