Green Products Standard

a certification company

Dedicated to knowledge Creating information, clarity and transparency
Our History Consumers needed a better understanding

There are a growing number of green and eco-friendly products in the marketplace.  Consumer are bombarded with claims of varying types as to why a given product is better for them and the planet. Often, it is difficult to tell why and to what extent.  We created the Green Products Standard to help consumers better understand.  Our Standards take a comprehensive life-cycle view of every product. We provide information and a ranking of degree of 'greenness' explained with a simple symbol and a report. This information is available to anyonewho wants to know why the product is green.

Our passion for research and knowledge is our standard.
We provide information, data and analysis that is science-based

We have developed our proprietary standards over several years. We gather information from many sources, both direct and indirect. We thoroughly analyze the actual products, test their effectiveness and the impacts of their usage. Every product is unique. We gather and synthesize all data and information available, so that the end result the Green Products Standard Reports is as accurate and meaningful as possible to consumers. Because our process applies both a life-cycle and single view approach, our reports offer consumers a comparative view of both like and dissimilar products. This is the first time that these unique Green Products Standards are completely available to consumers and just a click away from the products they are interested in purchasing.

Our mission

“  Create a comprehensive and single view of a broad array of products to help interested consumers have an easy way to understand why a given product is green and to what extent it is eco-friendly.”
