Eco-friendly industrial cleaning products are made from natural, biodegradable ingredients. They are effective at cleaning and disinfecting surfaces while being less harmful to the environment. Switching to green cleaning in industrial settings bring plenty of benefits, from reduced waste and costs to safer and healthier work environments.
Benefits of using eco-friendly industrial cleaning products
Using green or eco-friendly cleaning products helps the environment. At the same time, they are healthier. Here are the top benefits of using eco-friendly alternatives for industrial cleaning.
Safer for the environment
Eco-friendly cleaners do not have harsh, non-biodegradable chemicals. Traditional cleaners are typically non-biodegradable with chemicals like chlorine, ammonia, sodium hydroxide, perchloroethylene, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulphate, limonene and more. These toxic ingredients can be harmful to the environment, including animals.
Reduces plastic waste
Traditional cleaners are often found in single-use plastic bottles that contribute to increased waste in landfills and elsewhere. Green cleaning products generally feature recyclable containers and packaging. They also typically have biodegradable materials and are available with refillable, multi-use containers.
Gentle yet effective cleaners
Since eco-friendly industrial cleaning products usually do not have corrosive chemicals, they are less harsh. This lowers the risk of damaging surfaces. At the same time, they are still effective at cleaning.
In the long run, switching to greener products could save your money on repairing or replacing, for example, machinery or flooring that has been damaged by a harsher cleaner.
Less harmful to people
Eco-friendly cleaners are less harmful to humans since they lack chemicals that create fumes and allergens like traditional cleaning products. Some traditional cleaners also contain ingredients that are known carcinogens. Switching to eco-friendly cleaners helps reduce exposure to these chemicals, helping keep employees and other safe.
Cost-effective
Since many eco-friendly cleaners are multi-use, they can be cost-effective in the long run. Refillable containers mean less waste but also less storage space requirements since many green cleaning products feature refills in small sachets or tablets. This makes them easier to store.
