So green is not so green just a marketing ploy big time! We all have to tell pokies some times. ;)

Hi Guys

Len, whilst there is tendency towards cynicism with any of these green cleaning issues, getting involved with them has made me think more about how I am cleaning and I am definitely greener.

It is important that we do not make ridiculous claims , afterall we do not like it when our suppliers ridicule us with them .

Having said all that,  as Chris has stated people are less worried about the price if they are seeking a green clean.

Cheers

Doug

Something that will affect our business was highlighted today, in a meeting with the three local authorities we deal.

It was at " meet the buyer " type meeting today and when discussing the tendering process, it became apparent that the " green " issue is now a consideration with  local authorities and will have to be addressed on all future tenders, failure to meet this and other requirements will result in achieving a lower score and make it more difficult to win contracts.

So, like it or not, we have to comply !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look at Chris Straker's site and you will find the info in there ............you don't have to go down the  A/S route though, there are plenty of other GREEN products around, the latest is Prochems Pure Clean which is getting good reviews.
