August 16, 2006—GOJO, manufacturer of industrial hand cleaners, announces that its environmentally preferable products, meet the new EcoLogo (Environmental Choice) and Green Seal certifications (CCD-104/GS-41) for hand cleaners and hand soaps.
The family of products includes GOJO’s Green Certified Foam Hand Cleaner and Green Certified Lotion Hand Cleaner. The products may now place the widely recognized EcoLogo and/or Green Seal logo on the products.
EcoLogo categorizes hand cleaners as “those products designed to remove both organic and inorganic soil from skin.” They usually fall into two specific categories: industrial and institutional.
Industrial hand cleaners are usually found in such places as auto manufacturing and repair facilities, factories, print shops, and similar industrial settings.
Institutional hand cleaners are most often found in the public washrooms of airports, restaurants, retail stores, educational facilities, and office buildings.
In order to attain EcoLogo’s CD-104 certification for hand cleaners, the manufacturer must demonstrate environmental leadership throughout the product’s life cycle.
Since 1946, GOJO has been a leading manufacturer of hand hygiene and skin care products for the healthcare, manufacturing, education, foodservice and automotive markets. For more information, see the Web site.
