The non-profit Clean Production Action offers
GreenScreen for Safe Chemicals on its website.
The space includes a 1,000 s/f multi-camera studio with
greenscreen, control room, and editing facilities.
This approach goes by the name
GreenScreen for Safer Chemicals (
GreenScreen), a methodology that established four major benchmarks for ranking the relative hazard or toxicity of any given chemical expressed in common sense terms such as "Avoid--Chemical of High Concern" or "Use but Search for Safer Substitutes." These categories build on the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry and the US Environmental Protection Agency's Design for the Environment (DfE) program.
The EPA's DfE Alternatives to Certain Phthalates Partnership project and the Green Chemistry and Commerce Council's plasticizer evaluation using the
GreenScreen protocol are providing independent assessments, too.
One path focuses on chemical inventories for permanently installed products, with another relying on
GreenScreen, Cradle to Cradle, and other compliance paths.
"We now use iPads and have a
greenscreen, where we can use different backgrounds and soundtracks and pupils can devise their own storylines.
This credit also rewards projects one point for installing building materials (at least 25% of the total used) that do not contain certain chemicals of concern according to the
GreenScreen v1.2 Benchmark, Cradle to Cradle v2 certification, REACH (European Union's Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemical Substances) criteria for substances of very high concern, or another USGBC-approved program.
The assessments rely on evaluation tools like the "
GreenScreen for Safer Chemicals" that work by collecting existing toxicity information about a chemical and scoring the chemical accordingly on a scale of high through low-to-no hazard.
