| How are you meeting your customer's demands for sustainable products? |
If you or your customers have a preference or requirement to use proven-green products, Americo's Full Cycle® floor pads are the FIRST and ONLY floor pads certified by Green Seal® for environmental innovation and performance.
Truly Innovative
Full Cycle® floor pads, made using 100% recycled PET plastic, are specially formulated to rapidly biodegrade* once discarded into an active landfill. We only utilize water-based resins in our binding process. Full Cycle® floor pads are specially formulated to biodegrade in a fraction of the time that it takes for conventional pads.* In fact, ASTM D5511 testing shows Americo floor pads with Full Cycle® technology biodegraded 92.5% in 616 days, our nearest competitor's pad biodegraded only 15.4% in the same length of time.
The Bottom Line
What does this mean for the end user and our environment? Consumers have access to high quality products with long lasting performance — while reducing mankind's impact on the environment. All with no additional cost to you.
Our Mission
Our goal is to produce products that perform to the highest standards while leaving the smallest possible impact on the environment. A leader in the Jan/San industry for nearly 50 years, Americo has been manufacturing floor pads with 100% recycled fibers for well over a decade. When consumers see the Full Cycle® label, they will know they have a quality product that helps reduce mankind's impact on the environment. Being good stewards of the environment is simply our corporate responsibility — and it's what sets us apart from other manufacturers.

*The ASTM D5511 test is a method that evaluates the biodegradability of plastic in anaerobic, or oxygen-less, conditions. These laboratory tests often show faster results than actual landfill conditions. The actual rate of biodegradation of Americo's Full Cycle® pads, as well as the rate of all plastic materials in landfills, will be slower and will very, dependent upon actual landfill conditions.
