How are the ingredients listed in CleanGredients “greener” than conventional options?
All the ingredients listed in CleanGredients, even those that haven’t passed the relevant DfE Screen, have superior environmental characteristics in comparison to conventional alternatives. A diverse panel of expert stakeholders has identified the areas of particular regulatory, environmental, and human health concern for each ingredient class. The CleanGredients listing requirements were designed with the goal of minimizing the hazards normally associated with each chemical class. For example, one of the historical problems associated with surfactants was that they did not biodegrade in water treatment plants and often ended up in natural waterways. All surfactants listed in CleanGredients must be, at minimum, ultimately biodegradable. For each ingredient class, ingredient data for attributes considered most critical to the environmental and human health performance of chemicals in that class (the Tier 1 attributes) must undergo third-party review. This provides additional assurance t
