ECOLOGO certification - sustainable hygiene for a greener future

At a time when our commitment to cleanliness meets a growing concern for our planet, the sustainable certifications of our products make us that little bit prouder. This includes the ECOLOGO, which is awarded by UL Solutions, a global safety science company. The ECOLOGO certificate is not only an important certification, but also symbolises a major step in our commitment to a future in which hygiene and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.

Understanding the ECOLOGO certification

 

The ECOLOGO certification programme, administered by UL, is a globally recognised standard for environmental responsibility. This certification is a rigorous process in which products and services are evaluated throughout their life cycle to ensure that they meet strict environmental performance standards. The ECOLOGO considers factors such as resource efficiency, environmental impact and the use of sustainable materials.

PURELL's commitment to more sustainability

 

It is not just yesterday that we at PURELL® took up the challenge of harmonising our products with more environmentally friendly practices. The topic of sustainability is and remains more important than ever and is closely interwoven with the corporate DNA at PURELL®. With our "Journey to Green", we have set our own green goals, which are further emphasised by awards such as the ECOLOGO.

 

The most important features of ECOLOGO-certified products from PURELL®:
