GREENER PRODUCT approves 3rd party certifications for green

building products
CHARLESTON, SC – January 20, 2009 – According to a recent
published report by the BBMG Conscious Consumer Report:
Redefining Value in a New Economy nearly one in four U.S.
consumers (23%) say they have "no way of knowing" if a product is
green or actually does what it claims, signaling a lack of confidence
in green marketing and revealing a widespread "green trust gap,".

“There is a lot of green-washing in sustainable building today”

according to Peter Rundle, Greener Product LLC. “As architects,
designers and contractors develop more LEED certified buildings
there is a growing need for an easy, fast and inexpensive method to
find qualified “green” building products manufactured by
environmentally responsible producers. We believe the Greener
Product search engine provides a solution” stated Rundle.

The Greener Product platform utilizes the most successful method

ever developed to connect the manufacturer directly to the end
buyer. The recently introduced search tool, powered by the Greener
Product proprietary software is an online service that allows building
product manufacturers to “tell their green story” directly to 100,000
LEED APs, 200,000 architects and 5,000 of the most influential
architectural companies. “Manufacturers can easily demonstrate
how their products contribute to a green building project, help in
providing valuable environmental answers and make it easy for
their sales force to more clearly define their commitment to green
building and customer service” stated Mr. Rundle.
