Low Cost Janitorial Supplies has launched a new, special section on their web site exclusively devoted to 700 green janitorial products and supplies on their web site. All products are identified with an Enviro-conscious logo, meaning they do not contain hazardous solvents, utilize recycled materials or components, or otherwise reduce the impact on the environment.

As the company offers over 4000 products, finding the environmentally conscious options could take extra time. According to company president Scott Hays, “We wanted to make it easy for customers to find green products without hunting through dozens of other items.”

The company's green products meet various third-party environmental standards, such as the U. S. EPA's Design for the Environment, Green Seal™ Certified, EcoLogo™, Art & Creative Materials Institute's non-toxic certification, or others.

The new section allows companies to quickly and easily identify environmentally friendly products for their janitorial, safety, and storage requirements. Their new, green product offerings include:

  • Chemicals & Janitorial Cleaning products that are effective without relying on harsh or dangerous solvents.
  • Odor Control, with deodorizers, bowl cleaners, and urinal supplies that do not use harmful chemicals.
  • Paper & Dispensers using recycled materials.
  • Mops, Brooms & Brushes made from recycled materials.
  • Facility Maintenance & Safety products including low-energy compact fluorescent light bulbs.
  • Waste Receptacles designed for your own recycling programs.
  • Bags & Can Liners made from recycled materials with no sacrifice in capacity or strength.
  • Foodservice products, including green alternatives for cups, plates, and food containers.

The company also offers a new, downloadable PDF catalog of all their products with a section devoted to the green options for offline review.
