And when \u201cgarbage bags\u201d and \u201cgreen\u201d are mentioned in the same sentence it sounds like a color choice, not a positive product claim.<\/p>\n<p>But students at all levels\u2014from K-12 to college and university\u2014want to know what\u2019s in the products used to clean the tables, scrub the floors, wash the dishes and remove the trash. Some are even concerned about how products are made or what happens after they\u2019re used.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEco-friendly product options are available, it just depends on what the operator is looking for or how it fits their needs and budget,\u201d says Tami Stob, North American Category Manager for Cleaning Supplies at Gordon Food Service.<\/p>\n<h3>Get products that match your goals&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"graphic showing label logos for certifications\" data-align=\"left\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"3965feb2-9097-4232-8d5e-8236c3ea9382\" src=\"https:\/\/gfs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/graphic-kitchen-memo-1.jpg\" \/>The important part about choosing any product, Stob says, is making sure it can accomplish your cleaning needs and align with your sustainability story. \u201cIf it\u2019s important to you and your customers to go green, our Sales Representatives can assess your options. You may learn it doesn\u2019t make sense to choose compostable garbage bags if your waste hauler doesn\u2019t have an avenue to dispose of it properly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another factor to consider is cost. Stob notes that some sustainable products are more expensive because there\u2019s more involved in the production and meeting regulations. But if your operation is trying to achieve sustainability goals or is sending a message about environmental stewardship, there are options at many price points\u2014and the availability of products is growing rapidly as demand increases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have everything from the most stringently regulated products down to something that meets reduced packaging needs,\u201d Stob says. \u201cIt just depends on what you\u2019re trying to accomplish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a cleaning product for every job, but not all meet sustainability and transparency needs. The Clear Choice Program from Gordon Food Service helps your business tell its sustainability story by choosing products with specific label certifications:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Green Seal<\/li>\n<li>Safer Choice<\/li>\n<li>Environmentally-Friendly Reduced Packaging<\/li>\n<li>USDA Biobased Certified<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The choices you make give customers the transparency they need to feel good about doing business with you. Log into Online Ordering to find and select from a growing number of products with the attributes and third-party certifications you desire, or talk with your Sales Representative for more information
