Learn how GreenScreen Certified:

  •  Builds upon GreenScreen® for Safer Chemicals, a globally recognized chemical hazard assessment tool

  •  Restricts classes of chemicals of concern to human health and the environment, including phthalates, bisphenols, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), azo dyes, antimicrobials, and flame retardants along with California Proposition 65 chemicals and other hazardous chemicals

  • Enables suppliers to utilize the Health Product Declaration® (HPD) Open Standard to report chemical ingredients

  •  Meets Kaiser Permanente’s Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) Furniture & Fabrics Standard, thereby providing suppliers and purchasers with a third party certification to this standard

Products covered by the new GreenScreen Certified Standard include desk systems, seating, accessories, case work, upholstery fabric, window treatments, and wall coverings.
