The Cradle to Cradle product standard is a continual improvement process that spans five quality categories — material health, material reutilization, renewable energy and carbon management, water stewardship, and social fairness. A product receives an achievement level in each category, Basic, Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum, with the lowest achievement level representing the product’s overall mark.

GreenGuard Gold Certified

GREENGUARD Certification helps designers and buyers identify products that have low chemical emissions. It is a third-party certification that scientifically proves a product meets some of the world’s most rigorous chemical emission standards to help reduce indoor air pollution and the risk of chemical exposure to building occupants. The GREENGUARD Gold Certification standard includes health based criteria for additional chemicals and also requires lower total VOC emissions levels to ensure that products are acceptable for use in environments such as schools and healthcare facilities.

HPD Transparent

Health Product Declarations (HPDs) provide a full disclosure of the potential chemicals of concern in products. The platform is used to compare the product ingredients to a set of priority “hazard” lists based on the GreenScreen for Safer Chemicals and additional lists from other government agencies.

EPD Transparent

Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) communicate transparent, independently verified and comparable information about products’ life-cycle environmental impact.

Declare Transparent

Declare is a transparency vehicle and product database that helps designers answer three questions:
