This document discusses green cleaning solutions and products for offices. It begins by explaining how green cleaning products have improved and are now more affordable and effective. It then provides details on various "green and lean" cleaning products for breakrooms and restrooms, including hot and cold cups, plates, cutlery, soaps, and cleaners that are made from renewable resources like sugarcane, corn, and plant-based materials. The document emphasizes that green cleaning products have become more competitively priced and are a better environmental choice. It encourages adopting green products and cleaning processes gradually to help offices become more sustainable.
1. “Green & Lean” Solutions
“We Have Seen The Future Of Clean…
And It’s Green”
Presented by www.EcoGreenOffice.com
2. “Do We Have Any Control”?
Initially, green cleaning products were:
They were too expensive
They were too hard to find
They often didn’t work well as traditional non-green products
BUT…
Today, Green JanSan & Breakroom is a major business trend and an
environmental necessity:
We are uniquely positioned to influence our customer’s purchase decisions
on assorted products that produce billions of pounds of refuse each year:
o 4.5 billion pounds of restroom paper
o 6.0 billion pounds of cleaning products
o 100 billion plastic trash bags
o 2 billion pounds of plastic water bottles
www.ecogreenoffice.com
3. Can I be Cost Effective and Still be Green?
There are many competitively priced green
products made by mainstream manufacturers
Competitive pressures are bringing prices down
Demand is driving availability
Science is creating better solutions and more effective
products
Green product choices have improved and the
current business climate is leaning more towards
greener choices
In the current economic climate, the importance on
value-priced green JanSan & Breakroom items
grows even stronger
4. “Why The Shift To Green Products”?
Green Clean Schools Act:
New York, Illinois, and Missouri were the first states to
implement
Positive Changes In Old Habits & Attitudes:
With the creation of equally effective green products
With the growing additions of value-priced green
products
Major Factors In The Shift Towards Green:
US Green Building Council’s LEED Program:
o Certification of new and existing buildings based on a „green‟
points system
o Points can be earned for the use of green cleaning products and
processes
5. How to be a Greener Solution?
Making A Shift To Greener Products:
It can be a distraction to change the type of products we
buy for cleaning and for the breakroom
Take it a step at a time, by choosing to replace one
traditional product with a new green product
Inform & train associates on the “features & benefits” of a
new green product
Consider a green pilot program for adding green items to
the Workplace
o Green Breakroom Products
o Green Restroom Products
o An Office Recycling Program
6. Green Products For Your Workplace
Think about greener solutions…not a perfect
solution
“Taking care of the environment” can be an
overwhelming challenge, so make:
A commitment to do your part
One step at a time
With small, positive differences

Their concern for the overall environment has expanded to
include:
More responsible use of raw materials in product construction

process
How their products contribute to waste levels in landfills

35. Green Recycling - EcoGreenOffice
What is Recycling?
EPA defines recycling as, "a series of activities that
includes collecting recyclable materials that would
otherwise be considered waste, sorting and processing
recyclables into raw materials such as fibers, and
manufacturing raw materials into new products.“
36. Green Recycling
Why Should Recycling Matter to Me?
The EPA states that, "Recycling prevents the emission of
many greenhouse gases and water pollutants, saves energy,
supplies valuable raw materials to industry, creates jobs,
stimulates the development of greener technologies,
conserves resources for our childrens' future, and reduces the
need for new landfills and combustors.“
Currently, the U.S. recycles approximately 32 percent of its
waste which saves an equivalent amount of greenhouse
gases to removing 39 million cars from the road.
According to the EPA, if an office building complex with 7,000
workers recycled all of it‟s office paper waste for 12 months, it
would be the equilavent of talking almost 400 cars off the road.
37. Recycled Product Statistics:
Recycled Plastics:
Americans recycle less than 1% of the plastic bags they used annually
Use 70% less energy to produce new plastic from recycled plastics
Use 40% less energy to produce plastic bags versus paper bags
Roughly 80% of the US population…nearly 200 million people…have access to a
plastics recycling program in their community
The typical office generates one pound of waste paper per employee, per day:
77% of that paper is recyclable
Office paper can be recycled and made into paper towels, facial tissue, and
toilet tissue
40% of all waste in landfills are various forms of paper
Every ton of paper made from recycled materials:
Uses 30%+ less energy to produce
Saves 17 trees
Saves 450 gallons of oil
Saves 7 gallons of water
Saves 225 kilowatt hours to produce
Pollution is reduced by 95% when old paper is used to make new paper
Frees up to 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space
