Tennant’s Commitment to Environmental Stewardship

Turning insights into green innovations

Tennant is committed to helping our customers create clean, healthy, safe and attractive environments that also conserve resources and protect the environment that we all share. Through ongoing research and development, Tennant continues to develop more environmentally friendly products; from detergents to proprietary technologies that make more efficient use of clean water and consequently reduce effluents released into the waste stream. Further proof of our commitment toward Environmental Stewardship can be found in the growing number of third party “green” certifications that many of our machines and detergents have earned.

• ec-H2O™ electrically converts plain tap water to clean with the same or better results as traditional cleaning detergents. ec-H2O uses no added chemicals and up to 70% less water. Tennant ec-H2O water was awarded the 2008 Australian Business Award for Best Eco-Friendly Product.
  
• ReadySpace® creates cleaner, healthier environments by permitting more frequent cleanings of carpeted areas, while using less water, thus reducing odors, allergens, mould and waste water.
  
• FaST® Foam activated Scrubbing Technology uses 70 percent less water and 90 percent less detergent, which creates less waste while improving floor traction.
  
• Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) improvement is available on Tennant machines and with CRI Green Label approval granted by the Carpet and Rug Institute.
  
• Slip resistant coatings improve safety by giving hard floor surfaces better traction, even under wet conditions.
  
• Eco-Advantage™ coatings encompass Tennant’s safest and most VOC compliant coatings that are virtually odor free and use less solvent for less evaporation and potential contamination.
  
• Engine emissions on Tennant machines have dropped more than 90 percent since 2000 with the implementation of state of the art technology that meet the stringent emission requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), California Air Resource Board (CARB) and European Community.
