NEW PURCHASING TOOLThis November, ISSA will launch the Beta test of its newest project: an online resource that helps purchasers compare cleaning chemicals based on their environmental, safety and health attributes, something that has never before been available for buyers to make more educated decisions. ISSA is developing this new tool with Ecoform, the leading technical-analysis company in the United States that focuses on the environmental performance of companies and their products and processes. This resource allows buyers to filter product options based on any number of attributes of greatest interest to their organization. The program has developed the following environmental attribute categories of chemical cleaners:
The individual metrics are being developed through the use of a work-group process, the results of which are then reviewed and vetted by the group's Core Development Committee, composed of key stakeholders, including health and environmental advocates, unions, state and federal government representatives, eco-label organizations, large and small cleaning-product manufacturers, contract cleaners, and institutional purchasers. Be sure to attend the Tuesday morning seminar at ISSA/INTERCLEAN, "The Next Generation of Cleaning Product Labeling Programs," which will offer a sneak preview of the program's Beta version. You also can visit booth #1448 to find out more or sign up to become a Beta tester. |
