Safer Substitutes are materials which offer comparable performance in application to a relevant conventional material but with the benefit of reduced human health and/or environmental hazards. For the Sustainable & Natural Product Framework, we define a safer substitute in a practical and data-based manner, acknowledging that all substances, including safer substances may carry some risk upon exposure. Chemical substitution is technically challenging, and we encourage customers to do their own testing and research to determine that the substitution is right for their needs. * Learn More

In 2022, we began working with our global supplier base to align on sustainable product characteristics and collect the data that supports these products as sustainable. The Sustainable & Natural Product Framework transparently provides the data to support each sustainability characteristic at the product level. We currently include six sustainability characteristics for our customers to filter and find sustainable products for use in their manufacturing processes and finished products.
The table below provides access to the sustainability documentation for each product. Please visit often as more documentation is added every day.
