1. Is beneficial, safe & healthy for individuals and communities throughout its life cycle.
2. Meets market criteria for performance and cost.
3. Is sourced, manufactured, transported, and recycled using renewable energy.
4. Maximizes the use of renewable or recycled source materials.
5. Is manufactured using clean production technologies and best practices.
6. Is made from materials healthy in all probable end of life scenarios.
7. Is physically designed to optimize materials and energy.
