6 THE WORLD OF CLEANING
Greenspeed is the rst company
worldwide to obtain Cradle to
Cradle Gold certi cation for
probiotic cleaning products
Greenspeed
Probiotic detergents are
environmentally friendly and
environmentally beneficial
As a specialist in sustainable cleaning
solutions, Greenspeed continues
to work towards circular cleaning.
And with success too, because the
innovative Probio range has now
been awarded Cradle to Cradle
Gold certification for probiotic
cleaning products in addition to the
EU Ecolabel. Greenspeed launched
this new range of probiotic cleaning
products last year at the Interclean
Amsterdam international trade fair.
Greenspeed Probio was the first
range of professional, probiotic
cleaning agents worldwide to be
awarded the EU Ecolabel. Being
the first to obtain Cradle to Cradle
Certified™ gold certification is a big
step forward for Greenspeed.

The Probio products consist of
benign microorganisms of natural
origin. These bacteria produce
enzymes which, both during and
after cleaning, break down the
microscopic dirt into tiny pieces.
This allows the probiotics to absorb
the small pieces and digest them as
food. The result: a microscopic deep
clean and long-lasting absorption of
odours.
Efficient, safe and
environmentally beneficial
The Probio products are of course
produced responsibly using green
energy. The products are safe to
use and do not feature any hazard
labels, i.e., they are CLP-free. The
products even obtained a platinum
score for ‘material health’ according
WEBsiTE: www.greenspeed.eu
to the Cradle to Cradle criteria,
which is the highest possible score.
If the microorganisms return to the
environment after use, they actively
contribute to water purification
and the preservation of natural
microflora. Probiotics are therefore
not just environmentally friendly, but
also environmentally beneficial.
The unique Cradle to Cradle
Certified™ mark is awarded by
the Cradle to Cradle Products
Innovation Institute, an
international, independent, non-
profit organisation. Their quality
model assesses products on 5
criteria: renewable energy, material
reutilization, material health, water
stewardship and social fairness.
