OUR DREAM

Greenspeed’s vision is in line with the Cradle to Cradle philosophy. We have the ambition to develop hygiene solutions with a positive and restorative impact on people and the environment. We want to make products where there is no such thing as waste.

WHAT WE DO

We are always looking for healthy and recyclable materials that fit within the biological or technical cycle. We try to limit packaging. We use water and energy intelligently during production. And we make our production socially responsible.

Our first products were certified 10 years ago. These detergents are biodegradable, non-toxic, and safe for humans and nature. Since then, Cradle to Cradle has been our starting point for all innovations. Our products have to be surprisingly effective.

CIRCULAR CLEANING

Our aim is to make our entire product range part of the circular economy

CIRCULAR PRODUCT CONCEPT

We are committed to making our products fit within the circular economy model, where there is no waste. The circular system has two material cycles: a biological cycle (residues return safely to the natural environment after use) and a technical cycle (product components can be reused at a high quality level). With our Cradle to Cradle detergents and 100% circular Re-belle microfibre cloth, we’re the pacesetters in this area.

OUR PRODUCTION

DETERGENTS:

The factory operates with 100% renewable energy sources. The ‘green roof’ and the sustainable building materials ensure excellent thermal insulation.

MICROFIBRE PRODUCTS:

The production process of the Nordic Swan products complies with strict environmental requirements. Manufacturing is carried out according to ILO (International Labour Organization) standards, ensuring socially responsible manufacturing. The ILO is a United Nations agency that specialises in labour standards.

We ensure that all employees can work in healthy conditions. For this we have the production sites audited according to the Sedex 4-pillar scheme for social monitoring of working conditions.
