Materialwise.org. has evolved into ChemFORWARD, a safer chemistry resource.

For nearly 5-years, MaterialWise.org provided free data-driven insights that helped nearly 2500 product designers from nearly every country to avoid problematic ingredients from the beginning of the design process. As a project of ChemFORWARD, the screening tool that consolidated global regulatory and authoritative lists has been retired and replaced with a platform to support safer chemistry.

While regulations and RSLs indicate what not to use, the next question is what to use instead. Without robust, high-quality data, this question cannot be answered and everyone in the value chain is vulnerable to regrettable substitutions.

The ChemFORWARD platfrom creates broad access to chemical hazard data and illuminates safer alternatives. This effort will help to end toxic chemical exposure and accelerate the transition to safer alternatives while advancing human and environmental equity.
