Sustainability

We're getting a little greener every day!

In 2009, BISSELL’s popular Little Green® will become even greener. Now, BISSELL will produce the portable deep cleaner with a minimum of 50 percent post consumer recycled plastic – an increase from less than 10 percent only a year ago. In fact, if every adult in the U.S. purchased a Green Little Green, it would be like recycling 658 million pounds of plastic, or 20 million bags of trash.

What’s more, BISSELL formulas for use in both portable and upright deep cleaners, as well as most manual formulas, contain biodegradable detergents and have no phosphates, dyes, optical brighteners or heavy metals. All BISSELL machine formulas carry the EPA’s Design for the Environment (DfE) certification, which is recognized for safer chemistry. And, BISSELL was recently named a “Champion Formulator” in the DfE program's Safer Detergents Stewardship Initiative (SDSI), recognizing BISSELL’s industry leadership in developing environmentally friendly floor-care formulas.

Of course, we realize these are just first steps, but we wanted to share with you a few of the ways in which we’re working to be more earth friendly:
