The EcoLogo Program released a revised environmental standard that strengthens the certification requirements for hard surface cleaners by limiting the use of asthmagens and excluding the use of other harmful substances, including ammonia, formaldehyde and phthalates. Asthmagens are chemicals known to trigger or aggravate asthma. The standard covers industrial, vehicle and boat cleaners, in addition to household cleaning products.
EcoLogo develops standards designed to reduce environmental impacts by specifying criteria for safer chemicals and materials; use of recycled and recyclable materials; and minimizing pollution generated by the production, use and disposal of these products and their packaging. It is a third-party, eco-labeling program approved by the Global Ecolabelling Network, an international association of eco-labeling programs, as meeting the ISO 14024 standard.
