Green Seal® Certification

YOLO Colorhouse paint is Green Seal certified. Green Seal is an independent non-profit setting standards for environmentally responsible products. YOLO Colorhouse sought certification from Green Seal because it is the most comprehensive certification with standards that address a full life cycle evaluation.

Green Seal certification, 2008 (GS-11, 2008) is based on VOC content, the absence of 1000+ chemical compounds, packaging requirements, performance requirements, manufacturing practices, and end of life education. For more info, go to www.greenseal.org

Green Seal certification automatically qualifies YOLO Colorhouse® for LEED points under GS-11, 1993. YOLO Colorhouse was the first paint company in the nation to receive certification under the new GS-11, 2008, a much more stringent criteria and specification than GS-11, 1993.

One of the biggest differences in GS-11,1993 and GS-11, 2008 is the prohibition of 24 chemical compounds for GS-11,1993. GS-11,2008 prohibits 1000+ chemical compounds.

Green Seal is the only US Ecolabel recognized by the Global Ecolabeling Network – like Europe’s Blue Angel. For more info, go to www.globalecolabelling.net
