What We Certify
Any finished consumer product can be certified. These are the categories where we publish specific guidance.
Product categories we review
Any finished consumer product can be submitted for certification. The categories below are the ones where we publish specific guidance, because they are where microplastic exposure is most direct and where we see the most demand. They are not a limit on what we will review.
Baby and toddler products
Bottles, teethers, pacifiers, feeding sets, and other products that go in or near a child's mouth.
Kitchenware and food contact
Cookware, utensils, cutting boards, food storage, and drinkware, covering every surface that meets food.
Cosmetics and personal care
Skincare, colour cosmetics, and personal care, covering both the formulation and the packaging surfaces it touches.
Clothing and textiles
Natural fibre garments, bedding, and home textiles, covering fibres, thread, trims, and finishes.
What decides eligibility
Category does not decide eligibility. The published standard does. A product qualifies when every surface a person touches, or that touches food or drink, is made from something that is not a plastic, and when any non-exposed plastic component presents no reasonably foreseeable shedding risk.
If a product meets the standard, it is certified. We do not decline a qualifying product for sitting outside a listed category, for being unusual, or for any reason other than the published criteria. If your product is not covered by the guidance above and you believe it qualifies, send it to us anyway.
Products built around glass, stainless steel, wood, natural rubber, or properly cured food-grade silicone are usually the most straightforward to review. Products with plastic anywhere a person or the contents make contact will not qualify, and we will tell you that at the free screening stage rather than after a paid review.
