3E Company's New Green Product Analyzer Facilitates the Development and Selection of Safer, More Environmentally Friendly Products
Offers instant access to the critical information needed to support emerging sustainability initiatives
CARLSBAD, CA, - 3E Company®, the leading provider of environmental health and safety (EH&S) compliance and information management services, today introduced its innovative new Green Product Analyzer (GPA). The 3E GPA supports emerging sustainability and green initiatives by providing access to the critical data and information needed to quickly assess the EH&S sustainability footprint of chemical products and aid in the development and selection of safer and more environmentally friendly products.
The 3E GPA generates extremely valuable information that enables companies to quickly assess the sustainability footprint of their raw materials or finished goods, compares products to evaluate more environmentally friendly alternatives for greener purchasing decisions and creates a simple baseline methodology to measure improvement. The system offers users access to 3E Company's chemical profiles and substance data to analyze and compare products by toxicity, environmental impact, use type and cost. The result is a systematic assessment of a product's toxic footprint and tools that facilitate better, more informed purchasing decisions and help communicate impact and progress of sustainability goals to internal or external stakeholders.
Users can utilize pre-determined criteria to calculate ratings and group products into categories and even include material costs to create direct and meaningful comparisons. One of the most innovative capabilities of the 3E GPA is its ability to facilitate the customization of the scoring system. While green procurement and product evaluation are important to companies, without a standard it can be difficult to develop and implement a successful green program.
The 3E GPA provides a baseline scoring methodology that can be completely customized to suit the needs of a company or industry. The 3E GPA is user-friendly and flexible, and offers the knowledge needed to evolve sustainability programs from a concept to execution. The 3E GPA supports corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability initiatives by allowing users to track and manage their chemical inventories and ensures that the materials being used conform to corporate initiatives related to purchase, storage, transportation, handling, recycling and disposal of safer, greener products.
"As sustainability and green initiatives emerge as top priorities for the enterprise, many companies need assistance with EH&S compliance management and product stewardship, which are the fundamental and critical cornerstones of these initiatives," said Isaac Powell, Product Manager, 3E Company. "We are proud to offer a practical solution that helps companies to start reducing their toxic footprint and develop better products, while more efficiently and cost-effectively managing the full spectrum of their hazard communication and product stewardship requirements."
The 3E GPA is available immediately. Pricing is based on an annual subscription rate.
