green is the color of choice

There’s more to the safety story from Young America. Children typically spend 85 percent of their time indoors, where the air may be two-to-five times more polluted than the outdoor air.

As a result, they face short and long-term health risks from the indoor air pollution caused by chemicals released from the everyday products in our homes, including other furnishings, electronics, appliances and cleaners. To ensure the safest environments for our children, all Young America cribs have been GREENGUARD Certified. Products which receive the GREENGUARD Children and SchoolsSM certified mark have been independently tested and meet the most rigorous chemical emissions standards in the world.

Our World. Made Better.

At Young America we are addressing head-on the environmental challenges that face our company, our industry and our planet. In the near term our energies are being channeled specifically in three major areas.

Air Quality

From our factories to the consumer’s home we are committed to improving the quality of the air that we breathe.

Packaging

We will reduce the amount of materials we use to package our products improving quality and performance while reducing costs and waste.

Hazardous Waste

By recovering and re-using solvent material we reduce the amount of hazardous waste created in our manufacturing processes.
