WHAT IT IS:

International Living Future Institute’s Declare is a transparency platform to disclose and discover healthy building products. Declare is a nutrition label for products and the only label that combines material transparency and the Red List. It distills complex chemical ingredient information into an easy to read label. Declare helps you find and specify Red List Free products, which are healthy for people, the environment, and communities.

A database of Declared and Living Product Challenge compliant products can be found on the ILFI website.

WHEN TO USE THIS:

ILFI works closely with manufacturers to reformulate products into healthier and more sustainable alternatives. For this reason, this database has proven to hold healthier alternatives to hard to find product categories such as adhesives, sealants, and other contractor-specified materials. Since it only contains Declared, Red-List Free and Approved products, it’s also more concise and less overwhelming. Therefore, it’s a great place to start when looking for healthier materials. The directory is also easily searchable by Spec Division and by manufacturer.
