Boilerplate

Certified Microplastic-Free™ is an independent, US-based certification program for consumer products. Certification is granted after a documentation review of a product's materials, supplier attestations, and manufacturing details against the published CMF Standard. Certified products display the Certified Microplastic-Free seal under a trademark license, carry a certificate number that anyone can verify at microfree.org, and are listed in a public directory. The program covers product categories where microplastic exposure matters most, including baby products, kitchenware, cosmetics, and textiles.
