Sustainable hand hygiene for a cleaner, healthier world.
Kutol’s purpose of Clean Hands for a Healthy World embodies our commitment to sustainable hand hygiene. We take action to create a more sustainable world by incorporating earth friendly practices in our business – from product development and packaging designs, to manufacturing processes and operational investments. Our Green Seal® Certified, USDA BioPreferred® and ECOLOGO® skin care products help protect environmental and human health and are manufactured in our LEED® Silver Certified facility.
As a good steward of the environment, we are dedicated to:
Reducing our carbon footprint by fulfilling the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Silver certification requirements
Improving outdoor air quality by partnering with transportation carriers designated as EPA SmartWay Partners
Protecting humans and the environment by producing Green Seal Certified, USDA BioPreferred and ECOLOGO products
Contributing to the circular economy by donating skin care products to Matthew 25 Ministries as a Green Giving Partner
Decreasing dependency on plastic by utilizing flexible refill bags with 50% less plastic compared to rigid containers
Conserving natural resources and meeting USDA biobased requirements by manufacturing hand sanitizers that are derived from 100% renewable grain alcohol
Lessening waste sent to landfills with refill bags that fully evacuate product
Reducing landfill waste through paper, corrugated and aluminum recycling programs
Kutol’s manufacturing facility is LEED® Silver Certified – a designation from the U.S. Green Building Council that awards points for buildings that conserve energy and improve the environment.
Our building has green, sustainable features including geothermal heating and cooling, motion sensor lights and low flow plumbing fixtures. We selected and built our facility on an old industrial site, so no natural land was disturbed. During construction, materials were locally-sourced to reduce the wasteful effects of transportation and more than 8 million pounds of concrete were recycled. Employees who drive low emission vehicles are given special LEED parking spaces near the front door. The facility maintains a recycling program and is designated non-smoking.
