Living Product Challenge

The Living Product Challenge is a framework for manufacturers to create products that are healthy, inspirational and give back to the environment. Manufacturers are using the Living Product Challenge framework to rethink the way products are made. Instead of trying to be “less bad,” they are creating goods that have a positive impact. Using the Living Product Challenge framework, you can create Living Products that are:

  • Healthy and free of toxins
  • Socially responsible and respects the rights of workers
  • Net positive and benefit both people and the environment

- Inventory: 100% inventory of ingredients.
- Screen: Screening against the Red List.
