The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has named the American Cleaning Institute (ACI), the trade association for the U.S. cleaning product supply chain, as a Safer Choice Partner of the Year.
EPA’s Safer Choice helps consumers, businesses, and purchasers find products that perform and contain ingredients that are safer for human health and the environment.
Throughout 2022, ACI amplified Safer Choice’s messaging, featuring the program in member newsletters, ACI’s 2022 Sustainability Report, an educational webinar and during the Good Housekeeping Discover Cleaning 2022 event. In addition, ACI worked with Safer Choice to create a media kit for the program.
“Safer Choice-certified products bring peace of mind to consumers while doing good for the environment,” said Melissa Hockstad, ACI President & CEO. “ACI is proud to share the Safer Choice message and is honored to be recognized as a Partner of the Year.”
ACI also enhanced consumer awareness of Safer Choice through regular posts on its social media channels, such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
