Evaluation program

Declare

Declare labels are issued to products disclosing ingredient inventory, sourcing and end of life options. Declare labels are based on the Manufacturers Guide to Declare, administered by the International Living Future Institute.


How it works
Material ingredients are inventoried and screened against the Living Building Challenge (LBC) Red List which represents the ‘worst in class’ materials, chemicals, and elements known to pose serious risks to human health and the greater ecosystem.


The Declare product database and label are used to select products that meet the Living Building Challenge's stringent materials requirements, streamlining the materials specification and certification process.

How this rating was achieved

Declare level

'Declared' is awarded to products when all the ingredients name and CAS numbers have been disclosed. 100% disclosure qualifies the product for the LEED v4 building product disclosure and optimization - material ingredients credit option 1.

What's in the product and why

The spout body is plated with chrome (Hexavalent Chromium VI). Chromium material is used as a decorative finish in applications where corrosion-resistance and durability are required. During the chrome plating process, health hazards have been identified and are managed. Process controls are used to protect the environment and the production workers wear personal protection equipment. After the plating process, the chrome surface is inert and does not pose any health risks. The spout in its final form does not represent any hazards to the user.

The TOTO facility in which the faucet is manufactured is ISO 14001 certified. This means that the facility has implemented an environmental management system as part of TOTO's commitment to the health of the environment.

Where it goes at the end of its life

TOTO encourages consumers to recycle their used lavatory and lavatory parts. Contact your local municipality for recycling programs.

How we're making it healthier

The EcoPower technology enables the faucet to operate off the energy grid and requires no routine battery replacement. This technology helps to reduce pollution and hazardous waste, thereby mitigating human health impacts.
