Professional cleaning solutions that can help support your sustainability goals
Businesses are looking more closely at how their cleaning operations use water, energy, chemicals and materials. The Responsible Cleaning Program brings together Diversey products, systems and services that can help customers reduce resource use, minimize waste and address other sustainability priorities. Available benefits vary by solution and application.
Responsible cleaning practices can help organizations reduce resource use, waste and other operational impacts while maintaining effective cleaning and hygiene. Depending on the application, these practices may include accurate dosing, reusable cleaning tools, lower-temperature processes, reduced water use and products with recognized independent environmental certifications.
Independent environmental certification schemes typically include performance requirements as well as environmental criteria. Requirements vary by certification and product category. For example, products carrying EU Ecolabel must demonstrate fitness for use in accordance with the relevant EU Ecolabel criteria.
Sustainability is broad and can be approached in many ways. To help you, we have listed practical tips to help you take the first step toward green cleaning.
Compared with equivalent ready-to-use products, concentrated cleaning products can reduce the amount of packaging and product transported. When paired with accurate dosing and refillable bottles, they can also reduce the number of single-use containers required. Some polyethylene packaging formats may be recyclable where suitable collection and recycling facilities are available.
Dispensing systems provide controlled chemical dilution based on the product and application. Accurate dosing can help manage chemical use and costs while reducing the risk of under- or over-dosing.
Some products in the Responsible Cleaning Program are certified under independent third-party schemes such as the EU Ecolabel, Nordic Swan Ecolabel or Cradle to Cradle Certified®. Each certification scheme has its own criteria and scope, which may vary by product category.
The right cleaning products, systems and processes can help organizations manage resource use and operating costs. For example, low-temperature laundry solutions can reduce heating energy use compared with higher-temperature processes.
The Responsible Cleaning Program brings together Diversey products, systems and services that can help customers address priorities such as resource use, packaging waste, third-party certification and operational efficiency.
