Eco Friendly

---

We use eco friendly BioRenewables products made with ingredients that are derived from domestic agricultural and forestry materials. Whether it's soy-based solvent, vegetable-derived detergent, or cleaning agent made from coconut oil, each ingredient comes from a renewable resource. This means that the raw components Spartan is using are constantly being grown, produced and manufactured into solvents, detergents, etc. These renewable items provide products that are environmentally safer for commercial cleaning services , increase rural economic development, foster domestic pro- duction of our resources, and reduce dependency on imported products in Vancouver.

According to the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act (FSRIA), a biobased product is a product determined by the US Secretary of Agriculture to be a commercial or industrial product (other than food or feed) that is composed, in whole or in significant part, of biological products or renewable domestic agricultural materials (including plant, animal, and marine) or forestry materials. In general, a biobased product is formulated with products from renewable plant and animal resources. Eco friendly biobased products are thought to be excellent alternatives to products made from petroleum because they: Reduce fossil fuel use, Reduce foreign oil use, Reduce dependency on foreign energy, Are generally better for the environment to produce and use .

With several different products, Spartan offers solutions to a wide array of janitorial services needs. These products can be used in any public or private facility in place of petroleum-based products. Their performance parallels or exceeds their petroleum-based counterparts, while offering the benefits biobased products exhibit. 

Spartan has invested heavily in research, development, and reformulation to ensure that the eco friendly Biorenewables products line up on the green end of the health and environmental spectrum, while maintaining or improving product performance for the best commercial cleaning services performance.

The Green Seal mark represents compliance with a rigorous set of criteria designed to achieve leadership levels in sustainability. Eco friendly certified products have met the same performance and quality requirements you would expect from a traditional, non-green counterpart based on performance criteria. Green Seal certification requires an ongoing commitment to health and the environment through annual compliance monitoring and work towards continuous improvement.

The DfE logo indicates that the DfE scientific review team has screened each ingredient for potential human health and environmental effects and that—based on currently available information, EPA predictive models, and expert judgment—the product contains only those ingredients that pose the least concern among chemicals in their class. Only products that meet DfE's Standard for Safer Products are allowed to display the DfE label.
