Nonprofit organizations Center for Environmental Health (CEH) and Clean Production Action (CPA) have unveiled the GreenScreen Certified Standard for Food Service Ware. The groundbreaking certification program sets a new safety standard for everyday items like disposable plates and bowls that do not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) plus thousands of other chemicals of concern. 

The certification draws from CEH’s extensive work testing single-use food ware for PFAS and builds on CPA’s GreenScreen for Safer Chemicals®, the globally recognized tool for chemical hazard assessment used by governments, companies, and certification standards to encourage the design and use of inherently safer chemical ingredients.
