Green Care Professional:
Safe for humans and the environment
For several years the Green Care Professional brand has been synonymous with first-class cleaning performance and integrally sustainable cleaning under the sign of the circular economy.
A core element in our sustainability strategy involves obtaining demanding certifications.
We are a pioneer in the industry with the most Cradle to Cradle® certified products and are proud that we have proof of the recyclability of our formulas and our packaging.
True eco-effectiveness: Doing the right things right
Sustainability is often mistakenly equated with efforts made to reduce pollutants. The process, however, has to begin much earlier so that the pollutants never get into circulation. A genuine circular economy goes even further and involves doing the right things right from the start. We live according to this credo along the entire value chain. The raw materials required for production are kept in biological and technical cycles and used again and again. It starts with the use of renewable energy in the production process and our efficient in-house water treatment and extends to integrally sustainable ingredients in formulas and packaging material made of recyclates.
