CLEANGREDIENTS
CleanGredients is an online database of
ingredient chemicals used in cleaning products.
CLEANGREDIENTS
CleanGredients is now used by over 400
companies to develop improved products.
CLEANGREDIENTS > SPONSORS
GREENBLUE
CleanGredients is a project of GreenBlue®.
GREENBLUE > WHO WE ARE
GreenBlue is a nonprofit institute that works
with the private sector to enable the positive
redesign of industrial systems.
GREENBLUE > PROJECTS
www.cleangredients.org
www.sustainablepackaging.org
www.green2green.org
CLEANGREDIENTS > THE OBJECTIVE
Encourage innovation in green chemistry
and product formulation.
CLEANGREDIENTS > THEORY
Transparency promotes innovation.
CLEANGREDIENTS > THE CHALLENGE
“
How can we share toxicological data without
compromising proprietary business information?
”
CLEANGREDIENTS > THE APPROACH
Share data at a resolution that is…
precise enough to indicate hazard or benefit, but
not precise enough to reveal proprietary information.
CLEANGREDIENTS > THE SOLUTION
CleanGredients helps…
formulators to identify the ingredients for improved products
that will meet U.S. EPA DfE requirements and
chemical manufacturers (suppliers) to market ingredients
with positive human and environmental health attributes.

CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
Suppliers create an ingredient record in CleanGredients
and enter self-reported ingredient information.
CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
Suppliers submit additional
information to a third-party
reviewer for evaluation against
CleanGredients criteria and
the DfE Screen.
CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
The third-party reviewer enters
key human and environmental
health data into CleanGredients
and indicates DfE Screen
results.
CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
Formulators search CleanGredients and select
ingredients for use in cleaning products.
CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
For formulators who seek U.S. EPA DfE recognition…
CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
The DfE Screen for Safer
Chemical Ingredients identifies
preferred ingredients.
CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
Formulators use CleanGredients
and the DfE Screen to select
ingredients for their products.
CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
Formulators submit product
information to a third-party
reviewer for DfE formula profiling.
CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
Products that meet DfE criteria are
eligible for DfE Partnership and
recognition.
