Spartan Chemical Named a 2024 ‘Safer Choice Partner of the Year’

Spartan Chemical Company, Inc., a recognized leader in the formulation and manufacture of sustainable cleaning and sanitation solutions for the industrial and institutional market, today announced it has been named a Safer Choice Partner of the Year for 2024. This recognition from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) celebrates Spartan's commitment to the Safer Choice product certification program and its continued dedication to protecting the health of people and the environment.

Since 2008, Spartan Chemical has partnered with the Safer Choice program to emphasize its responsibility toward environmental sustainability and product safety. With a diverse portfolio of sixteen Safer Choice-certified products and two Design for the Environment (DfE) certified disinfectants, Spartan has shown steadfast commitment to offering solutions that align with the highest standards of safety and stewardship.

"This recognition is a testament to our core values and the dedication of our team members at all levels,” said John Swigart, President, Spartan Chemical Company. “We always strive to formulate products that provide excellent results while having minimal impact on people and the environment. This recognition is a pretty clear indication we’re moving in the right direction.”

Some of Spartan’s most innovative Safer Choice-certified products include:

• DfE-certified X-EFFECT® Restroom Cleaner with Citric Acid, which uses Citric Acid and other environmentally preferred components to comply with the current standard for K-12 school districts and higher education institutions, which launched in 2022.
• Clean by Peroxy® RTU is powered by the cleaning power of hydrogen peroxide to quickly remove everyday soils, including greasy residue, on almost any surface. With a fresh fragrance that says “clean”, Clean by Peroxy offers the cleaning performance of a professional all-purpose cleaner in a convenient ready-to-use spray.
• foamyiQ® Simple Clean is formulated with ingredients made from renewable resources and features a refreshing citrus fragrance. A smart choice for LEED buildings or green cleaning programs, Citrus Fresh can be used as a hand, hair, and body wash. foamyiQ™ is the result of years of research, customer feedback and product engineering.
• Clothesline Fresh® Oxygen Detergent EP is a detergent and color-safe bleach in one that naturally brightens colors and whitens whites in the wash! Formulated in partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safer Choice Program, Clothesline Fresh® Oxygen Detergent EP features the power of active oxygen, an environmentally preferred and effective oxidizing agent.

Spartan has been a true pioneer in the sustainability movement from its onset. At the beginning of the “green” movement, many chemical companies began removing key ingredients from their products to promote them as “green”. Spartan took a different approach and focused on not only the sustainability of their products but also on performance and created entirely new lines of sustainable products focused on indoor air quality and healthy buildings.

Spartan's efforts transcend their products. They actively contribute to sustainability by taking action in their manufacturing process, promoting recycling and recycled packaging materials, implementing water and energy conservation strategies in their operations, and staying active in industry and government organizations.
