I don't believe any of that for a minute.  I just followed one type of product on their site, the plastics.  They talk on their site about a very real problem, the fact that polymers are really a mixture of many chemicals, from monomers to polymer chains of various molecular weights, to all kinds of additives.  And they they show a system for evaluating the various polymer.


Well......I know a bit about a lot of those additives and by products, and there ain't no data to evaluate.  And you are not going to find out what many of them are even if you contact the manufacturer and drive bamboo spear points under his fingernails.

And if it is the manufacturers that are assessing their own products using these standards, anyone see a problem with that???    Besides the fact that the manufacture has no toxicity data on the additives to evaluate, maybe the manufacturer has an objective?

And their assessments can be used to earn LEED certification -- OMG!  They are the bain of my ventilation and building safety designing life. So bad.

Somethings VERY wrong here.

GreenScreen =AE v1.4 is here!

Since its launch in 2007, GreenScreen =AE for Safer Chemicals has gone through several revisions, but this update to version 1.4 is particularly significant. In response to growing requests from users we are now providing clear and comprehensive guidance for how to assess the hazards of chemicals, materials, polymers, and products.

Read the conversation I had with Bev Thorpe about the updated method and why I'm so excited about it.

CFP Survey - closing soon!
If you are familiar with GreenScreen and want more in-depth technical information about the updated method and how to apply it, join Michelle Turner, Amy Hunsicker, and me for a webinar on February 28th at 11 am ET.

If you want to understand the impacts and benefits of GreenScreen v1.4 and particularly the assessment of polymers, stay tuned. We will be scheduling another webinar soon for a broader audience.

Along with our work on improving the GreenScreen method, we are always refining our easy-to-use GreenScreen List Translator=E2=84=A2. The utility of the GreenScreen List Translator, and the fact that it is an automated tool allowing a quick assessment of a chemical's List Translator score, gives users a quick and easy way to screen a chemical and prioritize action. See more about our current work on GreenScreen List Translator.

We're so glad to share this work with you.
