EcoLogo Develops Hand Sanitizers Standard

EcoLogo, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, initiated a new environmental standard for hand sanitizers that will allow consumers to select hand sanitizing products with a reduced environmental impact.

Hand sanitizers are a new product category for EcoLogo. The organization is currently conducting preliminary research to identify potential environmental impacts across the life cycle of the product. Aquatic toxicity, biodegradability and environmental health are listed as other qualifiers to attain certification.
