Hand wash achieves Ecolabel

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."
