In celebration of Earth Day, Green Seal released its 2023 Impact Report , showcasing how we and our partners are accelerating the transition to safer and more sustainable products and spaces.
The report highlights the impacts of Green Seal’s programs; key partnerships with organizations including Amazon, Wayfair, the U.S. Green Building Council, ISEAL, Health Product Declaration Collaborative, and others; and the environmental savings achieved by products that bear the Green Seal mark.
Green Seal exists to empower organizations and people to effect large-scale, transformative change simply through their purchasing choices. That’s why the report focuses on impacts achieved by Green Seal-certified products, their producers, and their users, including:
- Ensuring Clean Water:Green Seal-certified sanitary paper products saved 12.4 billiongallons of water in 2022
- Minimizing Waste:Green Seal-certified cleaning products save 1.7 billionindustry-grade 1-liter plastic bottles each year
- Preserving the Climate:Green Seal-certified sanitary paper saved 12.5 milliontons of CO2 emissions annually due to 100% recycled content
- Protecting Human Health:Green Seal-certified cleaning products protected 9.6 millionstudents and teachers from toxic chemicals and asthma triggers in 2022
The 2023 Impact Report also highlights Green Seal’s new initiatives — including a sustainable packaging recognition program and leadership-level prohibitions on PFAS in certified products — and features case studies of companies that adhere to Green Seal’s strict science-based standard criteria and demonstrate significant leadership.
If Green Seal’s market transformation model proves anything, it’s that collective action drives impact. In this year’s report , we highlight how, together with you, we are accelerating the transition to safer and more sustainable products and spaces.
