The Lowell Center is committed to a broad, global transition to sustainable materials, production processes, and conditions of life and work.

The Lowell Center for Sustainable Production ties together diverse groups, conducts scientific research, but most importantly, spearheads change. The following results illustrate how the Lowell Center brings sustainability to life:

By conducting scientific research that leads to improvements in state and healthcare policies.

By encouraging dialogue among U.S., state and federal stakeholders about sustainable chemicals policy reform.

By conducting research and providing technical assistance to the health care industry to reduce occupational and environmental hazards.

By developing asthma patient registries and establishing a standardized system of data reporting.

By improving the way organizations define and track progress towards sustainability.

By leading a group to advance a Common Agenda for Health and Environment.

By developing a white paper that reviews the current state of the science on environmental and occupational contributions to cancer.

By conducting research on commonly used brominated flame retardants - decabromodiphenylether, tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD).
