ENVIRO PATROL® is our new line of products
that are DfE** or Green Seal* certified. Environmentally preferred
products are better for the environment and better for your
health. By cleaning with products that are healthier for the
air, ground, streams, and lakes (or waterways) there will
be fewer chemical contaminants left behind to inhibit your
health. This means a cleaner, healthier space to work, learn,
heal, or play.
WHAT IS A GREEN CLEANING PRODUCT?
WHAT IS EPA DfE?
WHY GREEN SEAL?
Carroll Company is participating in a partnership with government and in association with others in our industry to understand the limits of safety and performance of chemical products.
We are working to educate our distributors, the consuming public, and each other based on sound advice, not sensationalism. Carroll is pledged to learn, develop, and influence others as we advance.
We are using packaging materials and containers that are recyclable. We are developing waste disposal systems in our manufacturing and support processes that yield cleaner wastewater and less solid waste.
Carroll Company is already known for our policy of strict adherence to regulatory requirements - EPA, OSHA, RCRA, and industry standards. We are going beyond compliance to become initiators of conservative measures.
What is a Green Cleaning
Product?
A sustainable cleaning product is one that performs
and has a reduced effect on environmental and human health when
compared with competing cleaning products that serve the same purpose.
Carroll Company believes that a sustainable community will use its
resources to meet current needs while ensuring adequate resources
are available for future generations. It is because of this commitment
that the ENVIRO PATROL® product line was created.

What
is EPA DfE**?
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's Design for the Environment (DfE) program
seeks to promote the use of institutional cleaners and maintenance
products with improved environmental and human health characteristics.
** All products displaying the EPA DfE logo have been Formulated
in Partnership with EPA Design for the Environment Formulator
Initiative.
Why
Green Seal*?
Green Seal is the most widely recognized
name in environmental standards for cleaning products. Green
Seal certification to GS-37 Environmental Standard is awarded
only after rigorous evaluation, product testing and an extensive
manufacturing process audit and plant visit.
* These products
meet Green Seal's environmental standard for industrial and
institutional cleaners based on its reduced human and aquatic
toxicity and reduced smog production potential.
