As a facility manager or property owner, you understand the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment for your staff and occupants. Agar Cleaning Systems recognises this concern and offers a solution with their GECA-certified green range of cleaning products. In this article, we will explore the importance of sustainable cleaning solutions, the benefits of GECA certification, and highlight some of Agar’s green range product offerings.
The Importance of Sustainable Cleaning Solutions
Sustainability is a crucial factor in today’s world, and it’s important for
businesses to continually try and reduce their ecological footprint wherever they can. As a facility manager, choosing environmentally preferable cleaning products is a great way to contribute to this effort.
While there are many alternative cleaning solutions that may have their advantages, they often fall short when it comes to delivering the same level of cleanliness and hygiene as properly formulated chemical products.
Agar’s GECA-certified green range of products is designed to minimise environmental impact without sacrificing performance. By selecting our green range, you are making a commitment to promoting a healthier workplace and protecting the planet.
Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA)
Agar’s entire green range has undergone extensive third-party auditing from GECA, ensuring that each product complies with rigorous environmental, health and social impact standards. This certification shows our customers that Agar’s cleaning solutions contain less harmful chemicals and have a reduced impact on the environment. By using our green range products, you can have peace of mind knowing that you are making a positive impact on the environment.
Green Range Product Highlights
Agar’s green range of cleaning products is designed to meet the needs of facility managers and contractors who are looking to achieve their green objectives throughout their entire building without compromising on results.
Here are some of the highlights of our green range:
