What the Green Seal Means
A Green Seal Certification Mark on a product means that it has been put through stringent evaluations to ensure its reduced impact on the environment and on human health. We take a life-cycle approach, evaluating a product from its raw materials through the manufacturing process and ending with recycling or disposal. Only products that pass these rigorous science-based evaluations--including on-site plant inspections--can earn certification. But the Green Seal means more than just passing the tests: It also means that the product works as well as or better than others in its class, and that it has been evaluated without bias or conflict of interest.

Where to Find the Green Seal
Click the links below and look for the retailers' list or shop online. If you can't find Green Seal-certified products near you, ask the store manager to stock them for you. Listening to consumer demand is the only way they'll stay in business.
