Is there a certified future for green cleaning?
December 1st 2008 Matthew Anderson, MD of Green
Planet Solutions (GPS), says as
companies are realising the need
to adopt greener cleaning
regimes, the need for guarantees
that products and
services back up
their claims is more
important than
ever.
Simply
containing a few
organic ingredients
or being packaged
in a bottle that can
be recycled does not mean
a product is eco-friendly.
A wider view of the
whole lifecycle of a
product needs to be
taken into consideration if
we are to source products that
are truly sustainable.A
comprehensive accreditation
scheme is vital for those that
want to ensure they are doing all
they can to help protect the
environment.
In the future, all products on
the cleaning market may need to
be accredited by one
independent environmental
body. GPS believes that
currently the most
comprehensive
accreditation for the sector is
the European Eco-label; it offers
the most information and
strongest guarantees for the
products that carry its logo, but
in the future, as more issues
come to light will we need
something even more inclusive? More articles from Green Planet Solutions Ltd: |
