What is The GreenScreen™ for
Safer Chemicals?

The GreenScreen™ for Safer Chemicals is a method for chemical hazard assessment (CHA) to help move our society quickly and effectively toward the use of greener and safer chemicals. The GreenScreen™ is helping major companies and governments to substitute hazardous chemicals with safer alternatives.

The GreenScreen™ is the first free, fully transparent and publicly accessible tool to identify substances that are inherently less hazardous for humans and the environment. The GreenScreen™ is intended for internal and business-to-business information sharing. It is not intended for promotional purposes. Only chemical or material products that have gone through an approved GreenScreen™ validation program are eligible to make public or promotional claims using the GreenScreen™ marks. All other assessments must be considered “DRAFT”. Clean Production Action is not liable for DRAFT assessments.

Assess and Classify Hazards

Make Informed Decisions

Users ranging from expert toxicologists to knowledgeable product designers and purchasers can use the GreenScreen™. The GreenScreen™ helps to identify chemicals ranging from Chemicals of High Concern to Safer Chemical alternatives via the GreenScreen™ Benchmark System.
