CEH, in partnership with Clean Production Action (CPA), launched the first-of-its-kind GreenScreen Certified™ Standard for Food Service Ware. The groundbreaking certification sets a new safety standard for everyday foodware items like disposable plates and bowls that do not contain PFAS “forever chemicals”, plus thousands of other chemicals of concern. This certification is a powerful tool in the fight to eliminate PFAS from foodware, and at its baseline, avoids known regrettable substitutions. Many manufacturers are unaware of all the chemicals in their foodware products—and many purchasers are unaware of how to ensure their products have preferred chemistry. GreenScreen™ Standard for Food Service Ware draws from CEH’s extensive work testing single-use food ware for PFAS and builds on CPA’s GreenScreen® for Safer Chemicals, the globally recognized tool for chemical hazard assessment used by governments, companies, and certification standards to encourage the design and use of inherently safer chemical ingredients. CEH is thrilled to feature Eco-Products, Inc. as the first manufacturer to earn the GreenScreen Silver designation for a food service ware product line. NatureWorks LLC is the first company to achieve the GreenScreen Certified Standard Platinum level of certification for a food service ware material. We look forward to empowering more manufacturers to communicate their use of safer chemicals to buyers and position themselves as market leaders in safer chemistries and innovation.
