HIGHLIGHT Expanding our hygiene porolio using sustainable chemistry For several years, we have been working to expand our hygiene product porolio to include disinfectant cleaners based on sustainable chemistry. The eorts of our North American hygiene product team have led to the development and launch of several products that utilize active and inert ingredients included on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Safer Choice Ingredient List (SCIL). We began by expanding our porolio with disinfectant wipes and liquids based on Hydrogen Peroxide, which ® breaks down into oxygen and water. These products include our NUGEN enhanced hydrogen peroxide (EHP), ready to use (RTU) wipes for industrial and institutional markets (I and I), and consumer applications, the former of which is also approved by the EPA’s Design for the Environment, a certification for pesticides administered by EPA’s Safer Choice Program. For our work, we earned a Safer Choice Partner of the Year award in 2021. ® This year, we continued expanding our sustainable product porolio through the launch of our NUGEN Citric Guard Disinfectant wipes (CG Wipes). We partnered with a substrate producer to develop the CG Wipes, enabling us to develop a wipe substrate based on cellulose fibers approved on the SCIL. While we are awaiting approval for EPA’s Design for Environment certification, the CG Wipes have already been approved for a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Bio Preferred certification that calculated a 94% biobased content of our wipes. The CG Wipes were developed for the North American market; it is undergoing registration with the U.S. EPA and Health Canada, and we are currently testing and exploring the regulatory requirements for other regions like Australia.
