Welcome to the third edition of Green Cleaning.
June 1st 2010 People, planet and profit are still the tenets of green/sustainable business, and the means of upholding them are ever expanding.
In this guide we have machinery that uses less water, chemicals and energy, products that are produced with recycled or recyclable materials, and transported in as little distance as possible, and industry overviews on the greenest routes to take.
Over the last couple of years, ‘green’ has stopped being a buzzword or a concept to be nodded to and is now seen as being a central part of business operations. Resource efficiency is one of the main reasons. It is becoming apparent that green is not simply a more expensive ‘kinder’ way of doing things, but is in fact a necessary streamlining measure to achieve results. Using less, and with as little detrimental impact on people and planet as possible equals profit.
Green developments are advancing rapidly in the cleaning industry, and as one problem is solved, another is addressed.
There are outstanding technological innovations that should excite people in every industry. With a presence in most businesses, this industry has the chance, and the responsibility, to drive all aspects of the green cleaning market forward. I hope this guide gives some helpful information and inspires you to take a good look at what’s happening.
