Multi-clean received
Prestigious Environmental Award from the U.S. EPA
Company was recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency as a “Champion” for
leading the Cleaning Industry with Green Stewardship Initiatives
ST.
PAUL, Minn. – October 22, 2008 – Today Multi-Clean,
Inc., a Minnesota-based manufacturer of professional grade cleaning and
maintenance products, is proud to announce that the company is a
recipient of an Environmental Award as part of the EPA’s Safer
Detergents Stewardship Initiative (SDSI). Awards ceremony was in Washington DC on November 19th
2008 in the Ronald
Reagan Trade Building, with EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson presenting
the awards.
EPA developed the Safer Detergents
Stewardship Initiative (SDSI) to recognize environmental leaders who
voluntarily commit to the use of safer surfactants (detergents) in
cleaning product formulations. To be eligible for the
prestigious CHAMPION award, a manufacturer has to use only recognized
safer surfactants in its formulations. “In 2006, we recognized that
one of the most commonly used surfactants used in cleaning products
posed a potential environmental problem and therefore, chose to
eliminate it from all of our formulas. We encourage other cleaning
product manufacturers to follow our lead” says Mike Tarvin, Vice
President of Multi-Clean.
Multi-Clean is continuing to aggressively expand its offerings of green
cleaning solutions across the commercial, healthcare and education
sectors. “The SDSI Champion Award along Multi-Cleans’ recent
selection by the Sustainable Planet TV Show for a feature segment to be
broadcast on the National Geographic Channel is further proof that
sustainability strategies are good for business” says Tarvin. “As
a manufacturer of cleaning solutions, we have to hold ourselves to a
higher standard when it comes to respect for user safety and
environmental health” continued Tarvin.
