ENSURING UNCOMPROMISING PERFORMANCE
A foundational belief at Green Seal is that a product is not sustainable if it doesn’t perform to industry standards. The odds are that an under-performing product will be discarded and replaced with one that works better – a terrible waste of resources. Our standards include strict performance requirements so that buyers can be confident Green Seal-certified products work as well as conventional alternatives.
