Certification: Certified Professional Product Steward (CPPS)
6005 W St. Joe Hwy Ste 300 Lansing, MI 48917
The Certified Professional Product Steward (CPPS) is the first credential of its kind, providing product stewards with the opportunity to distinguish their expertise and build professional credibility within the field.
Product stewards are responsible for the management of raw materials, intermediate materials, and consumer products throughout their lifecycle and across the value chain to prevent or minimize negative impacts and maximize value to human health and safety and to the environment. For example, when producing a plastic bottle for drinking water, product stewards take steps to keep workers, consumers, and the environment healthy and safe: from turning the crude oil into plastic pellets, making the pellets into bottles, filling the bottles with water, bringing them to supermarkets, and finally disposing of or recycling them after they have been used.
