PROTECT WHAT’S IMPORTANT

SAFETY BY DESIGN

Our approach to new product development — Safety by Design — includes screening materials early in the process for regulatory and environmental compliance. Using the latest scientific methods to test for endocrine activity, toxicology and migration, materials are designed to minimize risk, preserve food safety and can integrity, and allow us to develop long-term solutions, including new nonBPA technologies. Sherwin-Williams has one of the broadest nonBPA product portfolios for metal packaging in the industry. “If I had to describe Safety by Design, I’d highlight three main attributes: It is evidence based, it is transparent and it is forwardthinking,” says Dr. Kadijah Abston- Votas, Senior Toxicologist for Sherwin-Williams Packaging Coatings.

“Our Safety by Design process is a testament to our commitment to responsible chemical management and compliance excellence,” agrees Lynn Grega, Vice President of Environmental Health and Safety, Sherwin-Williams Packaging Coatings. “It helps us and our customers provide long-term packaging solutions that meet requirements today and in years to come.”
