Meeting the highest
environmental specifications...

The Chlorine Free Products Association (CFPA) is an independent not-for-profit accreditation & standard-setting organization. Its focus is promoting sustainable manufacturing practices, implementing advanced technologies, free-of-chlorine chemistry, educating consumers on chlorine alternatives, and developing world markets for sustainably-produced, third party-certified products and services. Through TCF/PCF certification, the CFPA guides consumers' purchasing choices, support government decisions and encourage the industry to move beyond recycling.
