The objective of the Green Leaf program is to use environmentally preferable chemistry to reduce the environmental impact of cleaning products associated with the manufacture, use and waste disposal to the extent technologically and economically feasible.
The CTI Green Leaf program ensures that environmental considerations are included as criteria in the product formulation. These considerations include the regulatory standards and other information available from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH®), the National Toxicology Program (NTP), the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Proposition 65 as well as standards developed by industry.
Cleaning with water only may be sufficient for some areas and soil types. But most frequently, a cleaning agent is required to break the attachment of contamination from the surface being cleaned. With this understanding, Green Leaf formulation guidelines assure a higher level of worker safety and minimize environmental impact without stripping away the ability of a product to accomplish its most important task… contamination removal from the indoor environment.
