Libby Sommer, EPA Libby Sommer is an environmental scientist with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Design for the Environment (DfE) Program, part of EPA’s Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics. Under DfE’s Formulator Program, Libby teams with science and policy professionals who, in partnership with manufacturers, work to improve the environmental and human health profile of chemical-intensive products for industrial, institutional, and consumer applications. She acts as a bridge between the Agency’s science experts and the chemical products community, and helps to build innovative government-industry partnerships that benefit both business and the environment. The DfE program works directly with EPA’s Green Chemistry specialists to identify and recommend safer chemicals to its formulator partners. Since 1997, DfE has offered recognition to those companies who design for the environment and human health by using safer chemicals. To date, more than 300 chemical products have been recognized by the program. Among the projects Libby has contributed to are the CleanGredients database, and the related DfE Screens for Safer Ingredients.
