HP Products Knows Green Cleaning
Kimberly-Clark Professional strongly believes that to help you create a successful green
building, we must provide product ystems that meet both environmental standards and
your high quality standards. Higher-quality products made with a sensible amount of recycled material are a better environmental value than products made with 100% recycled material. The reason: higher-quality, better-performing products allow users to use less. That means less waste heading to the landfill – and less impact on the environment.
New GOJO® Green Certified Foam Hand Cleaner is the first certified hand soap to meet the Green Seal® and EcoLogoM joint standard (GS-41/CCD-104) for hand cleaners and hand soaps. The certifications mean that the product has been rigorously tested by these unbiased, third-party organizations and meet the organizations’ standards for being environmentally responsible without sacrificing product performance.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has established a clear set of priorities regarding product stewardship known as “The Three R’s”: REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE. We do more to support the EPA’s priorities than any other manufacturer of away-from-home paper products.
Healthy High Performance Cleaning (HHPC) provides the pathway and best practices to clean and maintain sustainable buildings.
