SC Johnson announced today it has entered into a voluntary partnership with The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the agency’s Design for the Environment (DfE) Program.
SC Johnson is the first major consumer packaged goods company to partner with EPA on the program that promotes chemical products, technologies, and practices that benefit human health and the environment.
This partnership makes provisions for the company to work with EPA chemists, environmental scientists and risk reduction staff in investigating materials that can further improve the health and environmental profiles of the company’s products.
The partnership also designates two SC Johnson products — Scrubbing Bubbles Trigger Bathroom Cleaner and Shower Shine Daily Shower Cleaner by Scrubbing Bubbles — as “partnership products,” that have a more positive health and environmental profile than those typically found in many conventional cleaning products. Accordingly, packaging for these products will be able to display the Design for the Environment logo and the words, “Formulated in Partnership with the Design for the Environment Program.”
The DfE Program is one of EPA’s premier partnership programs, working with individual companies and industry sectors to compare and improve the performance and human health and environmental risks and costs of existing and alternative products, processes and practices. DfE partnership projects promote continuous improvement, integrating more environmentally responsible solutions into everyday business practices.
SC Johnson’s GreenlistTM process ensures that the company’s products contain materials that are the best available for the environment and consumers without compromising performance, aesthetics, or cost to consumers. The process goes beyond the normal risk assessments and regulatory requirements to evaluate each raw material in every SC Johnson product.
