Download free DEFRA-backed sustainable cleaning guidance
July 15th 2008

While the pressure to go green mounts, deciphering the spin isn’t easy. Unless you have a copy of a Defra-endorsed sustainable cleaning guide. Download it here.

The guide gives step by step guidance for adopting best practice on three key product sustainability issues: Formulation; Manufacturing; Usage. It clearly illustrates the principles behind these steps, looking at elements such as ingredient selection, optimising resource usage to tackling waste packaging.

The guide points out that some chemicals are more sustainable than plant-based alternatives, and underlines the need to make informed decisions in this regard.

It also explains various industry standards and accrediations, so specifiers can make sense of an otherwise complicated and confusing array of so-called green standards.
