The Safer Choice program is the gold standard of third-party green certifications. Safer Choice is designed to help shoppers quickly and easily find cleaning products that are safer for their health and the health of the planet. Safer Choice certification means that every ingredient is the safest in its class; that the product has met high standards for performance; and that the manufacturer is continually innovating new, safer products and better, recyclable packaging.

 

This award marks the fifth time that ECOS has earned the prestigious Safer Choice Partner of the Year designation since the program began in 2015 and was the first manufacturer to feature the Safer Choice logo on its packaging. ECOS offers over 150 products that are certified Safer Choice, more than any other manufacturer.

 

“ECOS is recognized as an outstanding Safer Choice Formulator-Product Manufacturer and has been a Safer Choice partner since 2008,” EPA noted in its announcement of the award. “Safer Choice commends ECOS’s dedication to formulating and raising awareness of products with safer chemical ingredients, both nationally and internationally.”

 

“For over 50 years, our mission has been to protect the health and wellness of people, pets, and the planet by creating the most authentic, sustainable, and affordable cleaning products for all,” said Kelly Vlahakis-Hanks, president & CEO of ECOS. “Consumers have a right to know what’s in the products they bring into their home, and the Safer Choice program is the best way for people to easily find safer cleaning products when they shop.”
