Kick off the near year with a commitment to sustainability. ABCO Cleaning Products, a leading provider of sustainable cleaning tools, shares key tips to help facilities embrace environmentally conscious practices in 2025.
 
“Now more than ever, consumers are prioritizing supporting businesses with clear sustainability initiatives,” says Carlos Albir, Jr., vice president of Operations, ABCO Cleaning Products. “The new year offers a perfect opportunity for a fresh start to embrace sustainable practices that benefit both your facility and the environment.”
 
Consider the following:

1. Switch to third-party certified cleaning tools. Opt for cleaning tools certified by a reputable third-party organization, such as Green Seal. These certifications protect you from greenwashing and help minimize the amount of toxic chemicals released into the environment, improving IAQ.

2. Implement a waste management program. Develop a comprehensive waste management program that includes recycling education. A well-executed program can reduce waste, lower your carbon emissions and significantly reduce your facility’s environmental footprint.

3. Perform a sustainability audit. Gain a clear understanding of your facility’s environmental footprint by conducting a sustainability audit. Collaborate with trusted organizations, such as Green2Sustainable, to identify areas for improvement and establish new CSR goals.

4. Educate your cleaning staff. Train your team on sustainable cleaning practices, including the proper use and maintenance of third-party certified products. Providing training equips your team with the knowledge and confidence to uphold high cleaning standards.
