Product Replacement Program

Our Product Replacement Program is a cutting-edge, preventative program designed to identify and address the most problematic chemicals impacting the state. It provides:

Reimbursement funding
Collection and disposal services
Opportunities for businesses to transition to less toxic options

Thanks to funding through the Washington Legislature, we can proactively address these problems before they become much bigger and more costly.

How did the Product Replacement Program start?

The Washington Legislature provided funding for this program to help businesses that wish to transition away from toxic chemicals. Businesses that wish to make their operations greener and more sustainable often cannot due to cost barriers.

Through our experience and relationships with Washington businesses, we can help many of them achieve their goals of supporting healthier workplaces for their employees and the environment through this program.
