As an industry, we are striving to optimize use of our planet’s resources across all phases of a product’s lifecycle.

Clean water is a critical element of cleaning.
The vast majority of water on Earth’s surface, over 96%, is saline water in the oceans (USGS). Which means, even though water is plentiful there are limited resources of fresh water to relay on.

Within your home, faucets and clothes washers make up a significant portion of…

The good news is that our washing machines and dishwashers are getting more efficient. In the U.S., a new…
