Regulations & Sustainability

A product report, based on the HPD Open Standard, which includes chemical ingredient disclosure and associated health information. Product ingredients are listed by percentage of weight to 100 ppm.

The GREENGUARD Gold Certification standard includes health-based criteria for additional chemicals and also requires lower total VOC emissions levels to help ensure that products are acceptable for use in environments like schools and healthcare facilities. GREENGUARD Gold Certified products must also comply with requirements of the state of California’s Department of Public Health (CDPH) “Standard Method for the Testing and Evaluation of Volatile Organic Chemical Emissions from Indoor Sources Using Environmental Chambers, Version 1.2 (2017)” (also known as California Section 01350).

In today’s world, people want confidence that the products they use every day are safe. Over the past five years, the EPA and several U.S. states have taken important steps to regulate persistent, bio-accumulative, and toxic chemicals such as PFAS, Antimony Trioxide, and halogenated flame retardants. At Mermet®, we share that commitment. Our roller shade fabrics are designed to meet today’s strict regulations and we’re proud to offer options that are free from these chemicals and many more.

The Living Building Challenge (LBC) Red List represents the “worst in class” materials, chemicals, and elements known to pose serious risks to human health and the greater ecosystem that are
prevalent in the building products industry. Compliant products do not contain any red list substances. 

The Declare Label provides all material ingredient information while also identifying products as Red List Compliant. The label automatically places red list compliant products into consideration for the Living Building  Challenge (LBC)

A globally recognized measure of safer, more sustainable products made for the circular economy. Products are assessed for environmental and social performance across the five critical sustainability categories of material health, material reuse, renewable energy and carbon management, water stewardship, and social fairness.
