The latest standard under review by the EcoLogo Program has everything to do with cleaning products used regularly in homes, buildings, schools and hospitals. As these products can have an impact on human health, green cleaning is even better than traditional methods as it can lead to healthier indoor air quality. With the rise of infectious diseases and the attention sanitation is receiving, cleaning products are an essential part of the solution. Given these concerns, the EcoLogo Program is pleased to announce the review of its environmental standard for hard surface cleaners.

The EcoLogo Program is reaching out to interested individuals and companies who want to participate in a process that will help to reduce the environmental and human health impacts of cleaning products.

The standard review process will be supported by staff at the University of Tennessee Center for Clean Products, who are leaders in the development of environmental product and material standards.

The EcoLogo Program is inviting anyone interested in helping to review the hard surface cleaners standard to email Jack Geibig at cleanproducts@utk.edu.

Any questions around the EcoLogo standard development and review process itself should be directed to Katherine Stewart at: kstewart@ecologo.org, or call: (613) 247-1900 ext. 231.
