Colgate-Palmolive rolls eco-friendly products

Nation's Restaurant News, July 14, 2008

NEW YORK -- Colgate-Palmolive said it has debuted a line of high-performance cleaning products certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Design for the Environment.

The Design for the Environment is an EPA standards program that recognizes and encourages the foodservice industry to employ cleaning products that utilize environmentally preferable chemistry.

Colgate-Palmolive said its new power cleaners offer more positive characteristics than conventional cleaning products.

The lineup of products addresses such operator needs as dishwashing, multiuse surface cleaning, wood cleaning and glass cleaning. EPA-certified products include Ajax Scouring Creme Cleanser, Ajax Expert Glass and Multi-Surface Cleaner, Ultra Palmolive for Pots & Pans, Palmolive Dishwashing Liquid, Murphy Oil Soap Liquid, and Fabuloso Multi-Purpose Cleaner.

Jurgen Kruger, business development manager for Colgate-Palmolive Commercial Customer Group, said: "Colgate-Palmolive recognizes that the foodservice industry is becoming more environmentally responsible. We fully support the programs of organizations such as the EPA's Design for the Environment and others, and join them in their efforts to provide products that incorporate better chemistry standards."
