For years Anderson Chemical has prided itself as a leader in the manufacturing of low toxicity laundry products.We’ve worked diligently with the EPA to develop the TIP® Laundry System. TIP® is recognized as one of thegreenest laundry systems in the marketplace today.
We remain focused on developing ourgreen product lines in all areas.
We have launched an effort with theEPA’s Design for the Environment(DfE) to develop a set of standards forour “green” products that meet orexceed criteria developed by otherrating services; Green Select, GreenSeal, etc.
Products that meet the standards willcarry a seal that lets consumers knowthe product is part of the “IntegraGreen” program.

INTEGRA “GREEN” PRODUCTSLEAD TO UC SANTA CRUZCERTIFICATION AWARD.When does getting the “business” mean more than makinga sale? In the case of Ledyard of Santa Cruz, California, itmeant providing the products that helped the University ofCalifornia, Santa Cruz earn the “Green Business CertificationAward” from the City of Santa Cruz and the Monterey BayGreen Business Program in April 2007.
Clint Jeffries, UC Santa Cruz Dining Manager, took the leadin submitting the university’s Crown Merrill Dining Hall andBanana Joes’ Café “green” operation for competition. Inorder to achieve this prestigious award, the university had tocomply with over one hundred and fifty criteria in four differ-ent areas: waste reduction and recycling; energy efficiency;water conservation and pollution prevention. The dining halland café chemical program had to meet stiff requirements.For example, as part of the pollution prevention criteria, theUC Santa Cruz had to demonstrate how their use of “greenchemicals” and the use of multi-purpose cleaners, ratherthan multiple specialized products, contributed to theuniversity’s pollution reduction efforts. Integra Greenproducts currently used by UC Santa Cruz include Vivid,Invade, Dissolve, Natural and Citri-Suds.
According to Jeffries, it was the use of the Integra Greenproducts that made a difference in earning the award. “By switching to the Integra line we were able to accomplishthe certification process’ requirements.” Jeffries indicatedthat the UC Santa Cruz is currently working on earningcertification for all of its dining locations.
Congratulations to Clint Jeffries and UC Santa Cruz for taking the initiative to achieve the certification award!
