Since USGBC released LEED v4, there has been a steep learning curve for both manufacturers and LEED Practitioners who are scrambling to keep current with the rating system and its approach to inherently safer materials through the new Material Ingredient Disclosure and Optimization credits. Both of these credits lean heavily on GreenScreen and GreenScreen List Translator.
Clean Production Action is creating a “How To” guide for using GreenScreen to achieve the new LEED v4 Material Ingredient Disclosure and Optimization credits. GreenScreen Profilers can assist manufacturers with their product inventories and chemical assessments. We have recently launched a partnership with GreenCircle Certified, LLC to establish an easily identifiable option for manufacturers to communicate compliance. GreenCircle will provide certification for inventory and optimization documentation and issue LEED v4 compliance marks for products that meet the credit requirements.
Register for this webinar to learn:
- How GreenScreen can help manufacturers identify and develop products that can contribute to earning LEED v4 Material Ingredient Disclosure and Optimization credits through the debut of our “How To” documentation.
- How our partnership with GreenCircle Certified will simplify the process for LEED project teams, architects, designers, and manufacturers.
- How to join the newly formed consensus group that will test and refine the “How To” document and the LEED v4 compliance and certification processes.
Workshop - "Design of Safer Chemicals and Products: The Nexus of Toxicology and Chemistry"
Join Northwest Green Chemistry and the Molecular Design Research Network (MoDRN) on April 23 – 24, 2015 in Troutdale, Oregon for a two-day workshop. The workshop will introduce chemists, toxicologists, and material scientists engaged in material selection and product design to systematic decision-making about design and selection of safer commercial chemicals. The most prominent tools used in chemical design and predictive toxicology will be explored in a hands‐on approach to screen out highly toxic chemicals and rationally design or select safer chemical alternatives for products or formulations. Concepts and case studies will be provided.

Workshop - "Meeting Flammability Requirements for Commercial Buildings & Construction"
Sponsored by PINFA NA and National Pollution Prevention Roundtable
April 15-16, 2015, Safety Harbor Resort & Spa, Safety Harbor, Florida (on Tampa Bay)
PINFA NA and National Pollution Prevention Roundtable are sponsoring this event to present trends in the building and construction industry that will affect the choice of flame retardants & building material solutions. Attendees will hear from building materials' OEMs, architects, regulatory experts & solutions providers regarding needs in the changing commercial building & construction industry.
The agenda includes an introduction to the latest developments in flame retardant technologies and a primer course on fire retardants, flame retardant materials & the most important industry fire test methods. The conference will continue with presentations from experts in the construction field regarding environmental, regulatory & testing requirements as well as advanced manufacturing & materials technologies. This workshop should be of interest to OEMs; Designers; Manufacturing; Market Development; Supply Chain; Regulatory, Green Chemistry & Building Organization
