As the discussion of what defines a "green" chemical or product expands, an information format to capture consensus on this question must itself grow increasingly complex. CleanGredients(SM) is a tool to present physical-chemical, human health, and environmental information about chemicals used in the formulation of industrial and institutional cleaning products. It is designed specifically as a vehicle to facilitate discussion of the relative importance of various ingredient attributes in particular contexts and thereby to support product-design decisions across a broad spectrum of perspectives and objectives. Attributes for each ingredient class in the tool are selected by a Technical Advisory Committee convened through an open stakeholder-engagement process that provides a rational, science-based framework to promote the understanding and application of proactive and precautionary design principles. CleanGredients includes metrics to establish requirements for listing and to meet the "DfE Screen," a benchmark established by U.S. EPA Design for the Environment (DfE) Program to identify chemicals in an ingredient class that have the most positive human health and environmental profiles. CleanGredients users gain cost savings and efficiency through new or expanded access to information supporting greener formulation and product design. At the same time, raw materials suppliers benefit from access to a growing market for their greener chemicals, which should stimulate more investment in green chemistry R&D. As the move toward sustainability leads the marketplace to embrace an expanded definition of quality that includes environmental and human health impacts, CleanGredients provides information essential to making well-informed decisions.
