Declare is an ingredient label disclosure for building products that is designed to help specifiers quickly identify products that support human and environmental health.
The easy-to-read Declare labels voluntarily disclose all product ingredients and use a simple color code system to flag chemicals of concern. Further information is provided on the product’s final assembly locations, life expectancy, end-of-life options, and overall compliance with relevant requirements of the Living Building Challenge® (LBC).
In Phase 1, over 44% of our standard portfolio – Glowring, Loop, Glowstick, Glowball, Solo, and Twin – has received third-party verified Red List Approved or Declared labels.
In 2024, Phase 2 will add Neo, Rev, Stealth, Liner, Petals, Tubie, and Kwyet, and increase our portfolio to over 65% of our products carrying Declared labels.
Our Declare initiative supports specifiers looking to achieve green building standards, such as LEED, WELL, and Living Building Challenge. Download our Declare Quick Start Guide to see how our Declare products can support you in achieving LEED, WELL, and LBC certification.
