The Environmental Protection Agency’s Design for the Environment program assists individuals, businesses, and institutional purchasing agents locate environmentally-friendly cleaning products that are cost-effective, have excellent performance, and safe for the environment.

These special products are identified by the DfE label and can be found through a variety of store-based and online suppliers. A full list of approved manufacturers and their products can be found the the EPS’s Design for the Environment website. There you can find products for all ranges of cleaning needs – from domestic to institutional use.

When you see the DfE label, you can be certain that the ingredients have passed a rigorous EPA review and that every ingredient meets DfE’s stringent criteria. When people use Design for the Environment-labeled products they are protecting their families, colleagues, and customers by making safer chemical choices.

If you are a business manufacturing environmentally-friendly cleaning products, submit them to Design for the Environment (DfE) for review. If your product is successfully evaluated, you’ll be listed on the EPA’s website and allowed to use the DfE’s logo – opening up your product to new consumers interested in healthier cleaning solutions.
