High greenwash risk

Often stated without the evidence to back it up — verify before specifying.

A manufacturer statement is a starting source, not strong source support without method and scope.

What backs it up

Chemical Exclusion Statement →
Must be at least: Manufacturer declared
Check it states: Chemical Family, Scope, Threshold, Test Method Or Attestation
Treat as high-risk language until PFAS definition, threshold, scope, and method are explicit.
GreenScreen Certified →
Must be at least: Third-party verified
Check it states: Certificate Level, Certificate Number, Standard Version, Valid Until, Product Scope
All GreenScreen Certified levels prohibit intentionally added PFAS, but thresholds and test methods are set by the specific product-category standard and version — verify before repeating a PFAS-free claim.
The certificate's product scope must cover the exact product being claimed.
