BioHygiene is thrilled to announce that they have been awarded the prestigious Global GreenTag HealthRATE Platinum Rated Status (Asthma & Allergy). As a manufacturer committed to both environmental sustainability and human health, this highest-level certification reaffirms that their efforts are truly making a difference. Not only does this recognition strengthen their confidence in their business practices, but it also provides BioHygiene customers with the assurance that they are using eco-certified products designed to protect both the planet and human health.
Who Are Global GreenTag?
Working to help consumers and manufacturers cut through the greenwashing that is rife across industries, Global GreenTag is a globally recognised eco-certification body, committed to restoring trust within the green marketplace. Recognised in over 70 countries, Global GreenTag stands as one of the world’s most robust, trusted, and widely recognised eco-labels. Their mission is to empower consumers and businesses to make truly planet – and health – friendly choices by ensuring all products certified under their name meet high standards of environmental and health performance. To achieve this, they require complete transparency regarding product ingredients and processes from certified businesses.
Global GreenTag Product Health Declarations (PHDs) mark a significant advancement in eco-friendly certification, ensuring products surpass rigorous health and environmental standards. At the core of this initiative is transparency, providing essential information about ingredients and their potential hazards through a clearly defined tiering system.
Certified products are:
- a) genuinely healthy;
b) have undergone stringent toxicity evaluation;
c) utilise a simple colour key to communicate risks;
d) identify potential risks; and
e) clearly explore health and environmental toxicity.
The Platinum certification signifies the healthiest options, free from toxic implications and utilising only the safest or most natural ingredients, verified by external third-party toxicologists for reliability.
This certification not only reduces environmental impact but also highlights health benefits in user health, worker safety, and environmental health. It sets a new benchmark by assessing the health impacts of the final product, not just ingredient hazards. Plus, it complies with the ISO 14204 Type 1 Ecolabel, demonstrating compliance with an accredited independent auditing body. It is also endorsed by globally recognised building standards like LEED and WELL, which focus on sustainability, the environment and human health.
