Green Seal released its 2023 Impact Report, showcasing how the global nonprofit and the brands that partner with it are accelerating the transition to safer and more sustainable products and spaces. This year’s annual report highlights the impacts of Green Seal’s programs, key partnerships with organizations and the combined environmental savings achieved by products that bear the Green Seal mark.
The report focuses on impacts achieved by Green Seal-certified products, their producers, and their users, including:
- Protecting Human Health: Green Seal-certified cleaning products protected 9.6 million students and teachers from toxic chemicals and asthma triggers in 2022.
- Preserving the Climate: Green Seal-certified sanitary paper saves 12.5 million metric tons of carbon emissions each year, the equivalent of taking 2.7 million cars off the road.
- Ensuring Clean Water: Green Seal-certified sanitary paper, made with 100% recycled fiber, reduced manufacturing water use by 12.4 billion gallons in 2022, and prevented 500,000 pounds of persistent pollutants from contaminating water bodies thanks to chlorine-free manufacturing processes.
- Minimizing Waste: Green Seal-certified cleaning products save 1.7 billion industry-grade 1-liter plastic bottles each year.
The 2023 Impact Report also highlights Green Seal’s new initiatives — including a sustainable packaging recognition program and strict 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.
