Hand wash achieves Ecolabel
April 1st 2011 GOJO's Mild Foam Hand Wash
Fragrance Free is first in the
company's portfolio to display the
European Ecolabel flower icon.
The Ecolabel is the official
environmental label in the UK
and the EU, and is supported
and administered by Defra.
Suzanne De Maine, European
marketing manager of GOJO
Industries Europe said:"Gaining
the European Ecolabel Flower is
an important milestone for our
sustainability journey and helps
to demonstrate our ongoing
investment, dedication and
commitment to global
environmental matters."
Debbie McSherry from the UK
Ecolabel Competent Body said:
"The criteria are agreed at
European level, following wide
consultation with experts, and
the label itself is only
awarded after
verification that the
product meets these
high environmental
and performance
standards.
"Rigorous Ecolabel criteria are
not based on one single factor,
but on studies which analyse
the impact of the product or
service on the environment
throughout its life-cycle, starting
from raw material extraction in
the pre-production stage,
through to production,
distribution and disposal." More articles from Gojo Industries Europe Ltd: |
