Declared refers to a declaration status indicating that a product has disclosed 100 percent of its ingredients present at or above 100ppm (0.01%), while also containing one or more Red List chemicals not listed as an existing exception. It is one of three declaration possibilities—along with Red List Free and Red List Approved—on the International Living Future Institute’s Declare Label. While products with this label adhere to the program’s transparency goals, they must go through further development and analysis to eliminate Red List chemicals in order to be used on a Living Building Challenge project.
