Benchmarking chemicals with GreenScreen® in TCO Certified
Of the thousands of chemicals available for commercial use, only about 1% have ever gone through testing to assess their effects on human health and the environment. In TCO Certified, we use the GreenScreen® for Safer Chemicals to identify a pathway to safer alternatives to be used in certified products. GreenScreen offers an objective, scientific way of assessing these potential effects, and finding safer alternatives to the most hazardous substances.
How do I know if a certificate is valid?
A new generation of TCO Certified is released every three years. When a new generation is launched, products can no longer be certified to the previous generation.
