Thinking of going green? Spartan has you covered!

Are you a school system that has been considering going green but has no idea where to start? Are you looking for a blueprint to make adopting sustainable cleaning practices and products more accessible? Do you need help identifying a chemical partner for green-approved cleaning products?

Spartan Chemical Company is proud to be a platinum level sponsor to Healthy Green Schools and Colleges. The Healthy Green Schools & Colleges program will help facility professionals identify low- or no-cost measures that can make a major difference in health and indoor air quality. The program was developed in partnership with recognized school facility management leaders and covers the full range of facilities management practices for cleaning and disinfecting. The newly released Healthy Green Schools and Colleges Standard incudes guidance for the selection of disinfectants, cleaning products, as well as training programs that will help schools go green.
