Program Fees

Declare 2.0 has modified pricing tiers and fees to incentivize scaling. The applicable pricing tier is determined by the number of active labels a company* holds.

Manufacturers that are based in New Zealand should reach out to declare.support@living-future.org for the New Zealand fee schedule, while manufacturers that are based in Australia should consult with the Living Future Institute Australia for the Australia fee schedule.

New Labels:
1-9 Labels: $1,100 USD/label
10-24 Labels: $900 USD/label
25+ Labels: $600 USD/label

The Declare new label fee corresponds with each label. A single label covers a product, or product family, and all final assembly locations associated with that product or product family. See the Ingredient Information Reported section for more information regarding product and label scope.

Renewals:
1-9 Labels: $900 USD/label
10-24 Labels: $750 USD/label
25+ Labels: $500 USD/label

As an example, if you choose to purchase 10 Declare labels, the first 9 labels will be priced at $1,100 USD/label, and the 10th will be priced at $900 USD. The total will amount to $10,800 USD. When you renew the subsequent year, if you still possess 10 active labels, the subsequent renewal fee for each label will be $750 USD/label, or a total of $7,500 USD.

The Institute does not review applications or draft labels before the product application is formally submitted and all fees are paid.

Once a label is submitted and paid for, there are no refunds.

Interested in expanding your Declare portfolio to 50+ labels? Please reach out to declare.support@living-future.org for more information around reduced pricing for scaled portfolios.

*A company is defined as the brand name listed on the Declare label and any claimed subsidiaries. ILFI will assume labels submitted via an individual’s account in Toxnot belong to a unique company and are therefore subject to individual pricing unless someone reaches out prior to submission to state relation to an existing Declare company and a request to combine pricing is made. In these cases, an invoice will be required for payment.

Other Services and Fees:

Support Fees:
A Declare submission standard review of a new label includes a 30-minute virtual meeting as needed with a member of Living Future’s Materials Team. Additional Living Future program support after the 30-minute meeting can be requested for an additional fee of $250.00 USD per hour, billed in increments of 60 minutes, and with a one hour minimum fee.

Free support in the form of written instructions, video tutorials, and template documents may be found in the Living Future member resource library and from 3E Exchange resources.

Custom Labels:
A custom Declare Label is defined as any label with changes that are requested to a standard format Declare label that cannot be performed by the manufacturer within 3E Exchange, and/or requires that a member of the Living Future Materials Team to manually create a Declare label. Any such client-requested change will require approval by Living Future, and payment will only be required for approved requests.

The label drafting fee for approved custom labels is $500.00 USD per label; the renewal fee for approved custom labels is $250.00 USD per label.

• The label drafting fee includes: formatted custom files, redrafted/formatted .jpeg (and/or other file types upon request, and subject to availability), and the online publishing of the custom label in the Declare database, as a secondary label.
• The custom label requires final approval by the manufacturer before it will be published.
• One 30-minute virtual meeting as needed with a member of the Living Future Materials Team is also included in the custom label fee to confirm customization needs.
