What does Greenhealth™ Approved mean?
According to Greenhealthapproved.org the Greenhealth Approved seal signals to purchasers that a product has been reviewed for environmental features and found to meet our criteria. The criteria includes a variety of components such as chemicals of concern, packaging, and additional attributes.
The program was developed to help health care providers quickly identify more sustainable products. Greenhealth Approved reduces the time-consuming and sometimes costly product reviews that are needed to research and interpret sustainability features.

“ABOUT GREENHEALTH APPROVED
The Greenhealth Approved seal indicates a product has been reviewed against a set of sustainability attributes aligned with eligible product categories. The seal was developed to help health care providers make smart purchasing decisions that further sustainability goals. Choosing products that carry the seal reduces the research burden for health care staff who are dealing with competing priorities and requests.
Research, resources, and support from our affiliated organizations, Health Care Without Harm and Practice Greenhealth, make the case for prioritizing sustainable products.
WHY CHOOSE GREENHEALTH APPROVED PRODUCTS
Products carrying the Greenhealth Approved seal have been evaluated against sustainability criteria appropriate for the category. They also have been reviewed by providers at partner hospitals within the Practice Greenhealth and Greenhealth Exchange network to ensure the Greenhealth Approved seal is not only a product that meets sustainability criteria, but also functions in clinical settings.
The seal enables health care providers to purchase these products using their existing supply chain procurement strategies. Local contracting, GPO compliance, and use of distributors can still be prioritized while selecting and procuring Greenhealth Approved products.”
