by jbs120208 c3 — December 5, 2008 ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, has updated its Guide to Green Cleaning Product Procurement Policies, Initiatives, and Requirements in the United States (.pdf file), a comprehensive resource that summarizes the federal, state, and local government programs and policies that require or encourage the purchase and use of green cleaning products and services.
The guide includes the latest information on: the USDA Biobased Procurement Program, which recently issued guidelines for the designation of biobased cleaning products; the EPA Design for the Environment Safer Detergents Stewardship Initiative (SDSI); the development of Missouri’s green cleaning for schools guidelines and specifications; and the implementation of Maine’s green cleaning guidelines for schools.
ISSA also provides a Green Cleaning page with numerous resources for its members.
