We have developed our own unique system for monitoring the impact our product have on the environment, taking into account the formulation, manufacture, use and disposal of product.
Every chemical has some impact on the environment, even water can have a detrimental effect.
At Evans Vanodine, we have developed an innovative system for classifying each of our products according to their overall environmental impact. Our system scores products based on eight different criteria (see below). The criteria selected are used to create a holistic life cycle view of the processes and product and also align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Every Evans product is analysed using the GreenTick system. The lower the overall product score, the lower the impact on the environment. Products which achieve the lowest impact rating within their range/category are identified with a GreenTick logo on the label.
One advantage of scoring all our products against our GreenTick methodology is that it enables us to highlight the lowest impact product within each product categories. This helps users to choose the lowest impact product suitable for their particular cleaning task.
Evans Vanodine has achieved certification with the Planet Mark and holds ISO9001 and ISO14001 accreditations, highlighting our commitment and dedication to our environment and sustainability.
We do advocate, however, that the best product for the job may not always be a 'green' product.
Using a low impact product to carry out a cleaning task in the wrong circumstance does not serve the best interest of the environment. For example, using a neutral, low impact washing up liquid for degreasing a deep fat fryer would be a waste of product, time and energy, compared to using a smaller amount of a suitable heavy-duty degreaser.
We can all reduce our impact on the environment by using the correct product for the correct task. This stops overuse, ensures the task is completed as required, and to the standard required. Therefore, it is important to:
Select the right product for the job.
Use the recommended dilution rate.
Dispose of the product responsibly.
