Green Seal protecting our environment	Green Seal works with manufacturers, industry sectors, purchasing groups, and governments at all levels to "green" the production and purchasing chain.

CBN proudly features Green Seal certified cleaning chemicals.

	We use Alpha-HP, Johnson Wax’s exclusive formulation of Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide, a synergistic blend of surfactants and chelating agents added to low levels of stabilized hydrogen peroxide as a cleaner/disinfectant on all water-washable surfaces. AHP disinfectant, with a 60-second kill time, is highly effective against pathogens such as MRSA (staph), E. coli, TB, HIV, herpes, listeria, salmonella, cold and flu – well-suited for use in office restrooms and lunch areas. AHP is also an effective decontaminant of touchpoints such as flush handles, door knobs and jambs, light switches, phones, entry and interior glass, etc., throughout your building.
Used in conjunction with microfiber cleaning cloths, Alpha HP virtually eliminates chances for cross-contamination.
We at CBN have been practicing environmentally friendly policies since long before "going green" became fashionable. The products we use and the practices we follow reflect our concern for the environment:
Recycled rest room paper products	We feature Green Seal certified Kimberly-Clark restroom paper products made of 100% recycled fiber.
Green Seal/Environmental Choice certified cleaning products by Johnson Wax Professional	Johnson Wax Professional™ products are our choice in cleaning chemicals. Besides their environmental benefits, they are engineered to be of as mild a nature as possible, yet powerful enough to do the job at hand. Johnson's products are among the most environmentally friendly in the industry. All have Green Seal or Environmental Choice certification. Johnson's state-of-the-art dispensing technologies dramatically reduce chemical overuse, control waste, and increase ease of handling. Products are packaged to either facilitate recycling or to reduce landfill mass.
Ecolab floor finish	Ecolab provides our floor finish, containing a higher percentage of solids, saving on shipping expenses. (Who wants to pay to ship unneeded water?). It is also a very durable finish, minimizing stripping frequency, benefitting both the environment and the bottom line. Ecolab also practices environmentally sound packaging, avoiding inefficient five gallon drums in favor of "bag-in-a-box" packaging.
	An important part of our staff training involves the proper usage and disposal of chemicals. We don't dump used mop water in your flower beds!
Paper recycling by	For paper recycling, we recommend Arizona Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired™. They'll set up a personalized recycling program for your firm; they also provide certified destruction of confidential materials
As we were founded in 1974 during the "first" oil crisis (remember the horror of waiting in line for gas at 50 cents a gallon?), resource conservation has always been an essential part of our business. Today, our janitorial, floor care, window cleaning, and customer service staffs are routed to reduce travel, saving gasoline, reducing pollutants, and increasing efficiency.
