Small multi-family properties use maintenance materials that have a high environmental impact/toxicity. Managers or owners often buy supplies for the building and their vendors (like cleaners) themselves through Amazon, hardware stores, etc.

Searching for optimal products with the lowest environmental and health impacts is time consuming, decentralized and requires reading through complex regulatory Safety Data Sheets (SDS).

Our tool uses LLMs to read through product safety documents (SDSs) at scale, extracting hazardous ingredients and rating them based on categories: High toxicity to aquatic life, Persistence in the environment, Potential for bioaccumulation, Human Health Hazards.

Our goal is to educate users, transition them to less toxic products, and set up recurring revenue through product purchases.
