HHPC

Healthy High Performance Cleaning Program

Diversey Logo

Meet your challenges head on with our proven solutions.

Working with GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI), we looked beyond products. We designed a cleaning system that promotes good Indoor Air Quality.

Indoor Air Quality is one of the most important environmental issues in our lives today. Diseases linked to Indoor Air Quality include asthma, allergies and lung disease. That is why we developed the Healthy High Performance Cleaning (HHPC) program.

GEI evaluated our HHPC program using their stringent GREENGUARD Gold Certification criteria to measure the effect of cleaning on Indoor Air Quality. Diversey is the first company to have a cleaning system certified for Indoor Air Quality. The discussion of “good” green cleaning products versus “bad” traditional products shifts to a discussion that includes reducing cleaning's impact on health and the environment. When addressing effective procedures for a health inspired program, the same approach must be followed. In general, HHPC procedures are more a matter of focus rather than technique.  

Reduces the negative impacts of cleaning on an individuals' health and the environment, by providing a pathway to clean and maintain sustainable buildings

  • According to the American Lung Association, poor indoor air quality can cause or contribute to the development of infections, lung cancer, and chronic lung diseases such as asthma.
  • Airborne contaminants can be 25 times and up to 100 times higher indoors than outdoors, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)*.
  • Illness and lost productivity costs are estimated to be in the tens of billions of dollars annually due to poor IAQ, according to the EPA**.
  • The U.S. EPA states that 30% of all buildings worldwide have indoor air quality problems***.
