There are a lot of questions for a company looking to implement more sustainable cleaning procedures as their knowledge of sustainability and green cleaning grows along with the UN General Assembly’s objective criteria, which are meant to be met by 2030.
Green cleaning is a cleaning approach that promotes health and well-being by using eco-friendly products and methods. It entails minimizing the use of hazardous chemicals and throwaway materials while utilizing cleaning products that are non-toxic, biodegradable, and sustainable.
These cleaning techniques seek to efficiently clean and maintain spaces while reducing the negative effects of cleaning on the environment and human health. Using reusable cleaning supplies, conserving water, and using ecologically friendly cleaning chemicals are a few examples of these cleaning techniques.
There is a widespread misconception that conventional cleaning products are more effective than eco-friendly ones.
The use of cleaning supplies and techniques approved by a third party to satisfy specific safety and environmental standards is known as certified green cleaning. ‘Green’ cleaning products must efficiently eliminate pollutants and dangerous substances without sacrificing functionality.
Products must meet the performance requirements listed in the Cleaning Product Group in order to receive the EU ecolabel.
“The EU Ecolabel guarantees that its detergents have optimal cleaning performance even at low temperatures without over-dosing, resulting in less water and energy usage. As stated in the requirements, businesses are required to present documents attesting to the product’s suitability for usage.
There are numerous methods to approach sustainability because it is a broad concept. We’ve put up a list of helpful hints to get you started on the path to green cleaning.
Transporting less packaging and chemicals from production to the warehouse and final use location is made possible by the concentration of liquid cleaning products. By enabling consumers to repeatedly refill reusable spray bottles, the concentrated products enhance plastic reuse and reduce waste.
Monolayer polyethylene pouches are easier to recycle and a more environmentally friendly choice.
These dispensing devices offer precise chemical dosage for optimal effectiveness and cleaning results. These systems provide the benefits of cost reduction, employee safety, and less environmental impact.
An independent agency has evaluated the durability of products with the ecolabel. In order to receive an ecolabel, a product’s whole supply chain is examined, not only its packaging and raw ingredients. Cradle to Cradle and EU Ecolabel (Flower) are the most well-known ecolabels in the cleaning industry.
Customers choose companies that care about sustainability, according to a number of surveys. This is a significant and long-lasting corporate trend.
Sustainable cleaning techniques have a discernible effect on overall operating expenses when they adhere to the Reduce Reuse Recycle maxim.
For instance, an on-premise laundry that uses low-temperature laundry solutions would conserve water and heating energy, cut down on overall washing time, and replace fewer linens while maintaining high standards of sanitation and customer satisfaction.
