Thousands of products have UL standards attached to them to help control and monitor environmental and health concerns of humans and the planet. One that was just released on January 5, 2015 has to do with wipers used in cleaning. This new standard covers commercial, industrial, institutional and household applications (excluding personal care) wipers. Here's a short blurb from Cleaning and Maintenance Management Online that touches on and provides a link to the UL website.
UL Environment has introduced a new environmental standard for wipers under its ECOLOGO certification program.
UL Sustainability Standard for Wipers (UL 2883) is the first standard to specifically address the fast-growing wipers sector. The standard establishes human health and environmental criteria to certify disposable wipers designed for commercial, industrial, institutional, and household applications (excluding personal-care wipers).
UL 2883 addresses all woven and nonwoven disposable wipers derived from either natural or synthetic fibers that are designed and used primarily for cleaning, dusting, and sanitizing surfaces or tools. It also includes those wipers intended for absorbency tasks, according to a press release.
The standard is available for download at www.comm-2000.com.
