Gojo Industries has rolled out new Purell Green Certified Instant Hand Sanitizer. Made with 100% naturally renewable ethanol in a readily biodegradable formula, it is the world's first EcoLogo certified hand sanitizer, according to the privately held Akron, OH-based firm.
EcoLogo certification acknowledges the product meets the Instant Hand Sanitizer Antiseptic Products standard (CCD-170) for environmental leadership. Purell Green Certified Instant Hand Sanitizer meets also meeting USDA's BioPreferred program for biobased content.
The new hand sanitizer packaging features Gojo Smart Flex technology, new lightweight, recyclable PET refill bottles made with 30% less material and the durability of standard HDPE bottles.
"Our hand sanitizer packaging demonstrates our commitment to sustainability and dedication to provide a complete portfolio of Gojo Green Hygiene Solutions promoting health and well-being while reducing environmental impacts," said Joe Kanfer, Gojo’s chairman and chief executive officer "We estimate our Smart FLex hand sanitizer packaging will save more than 250 tons of plastic packaging yearly across all products within our dispensed systems."
