The Safer Choice Program advances EPA’s mission to protect human health and the environment. The program uses EPA’s chemical expertise and resources to carefully evaluate products and to label only those that have met the program’s highly protective standards. By allowing use of the Safer Choice label on products, EPA empowers consumers and commercial purchasers to select safer chemical products that do not sacrifice quality or performance —and are safer for people and the planet.

ChemSec is an independent non-profit organization that advocates for a world free from hazardous chemicals. Among other things, ChemSec has developed a number of online tools that guide companies to reduce the use of hazardous chemicals in their products and supply chains. Used by tens of thousands of professionals around the world, these tools are recognized by many of the world’s biggest companies, the UN, the EU and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

Marketplace is a database that allows companies marketing safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals to share online ads for their products. All ads are visible to the public. Advertised products are not required to undergo third party review prior to listing; suppliers are responsible for determining that their advertised product meets the criteria. All products that meet legal requirements, comply with standards, or are eligible for third-party labels recognized by Marketplace, including ingredients approved to be listed in CleanGredients, may include this information in their advertisements.

ISSA is a non-profit trade association that represents the commercial cleaning industry worldwide.  With over 9,000 members across the globe, ISSA represents every major segment of the cleaning industry including manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and cleaning service providers.

As a proponent of green cleaning products and practices, ISSA has worked closely with the EPA Safer Choice program in promoting the development and production of cleaning products with preferred environmental, safety and health profiles.  Likewise, ISSA has been a supporter of the CleanGredients program since its inception including participating on the steering committee that helped shaped the program, as well as promoting the benefits of CleanGredients to ISSA members and the cleaning industry generally.

The Household & Commercial Products Association (HCPA) is the trade association that works collaboratively with companies that develop, manufacture, and distribute household and commercial products. The HCPA members employ 200,000 people in the U.S. and are proud to share this industry’s significant contributions to the economy, environment, and society. HCPA has been working with its members to create and maintain the Consumer Product Ingredients Dictionary, a unified source for ingredient names that are now required by both the states of California and New York and accepted by Walmart, Target, and the EPA Safer Choice program. These groups and many others consider the HCPA Dictionary the preferred way to standardize the ingredient names both on the label and online.

HCPA has been a collaborative supporter of the CleanGredients program since 2018.  CleanGredients-listed ingredients are cross-referenced in the HCPA Consumer Product Ingredients Dictionary, providing a benefit to members based on the complementary nature of these databases.
