3M has modified the claims associated with their application for Green Seal\u2019s Environmental Innovation certification for their Easy Trap Sweep and Dust Sheets. The company\u2019s proposed innovation claims are summarized below, and the full proposed criteria for this product can be reviewed on Green Seal\u2019s website. Green Seal welcomes comments on the proposed criteria until June 18, 2021.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Claims: An Environmentally Preferable Single-Use Dust Sheet <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to 3M, this product differs from others on the market by incorporating at least 90% post-consumer recycled content polyethylene terephthalate (PET), while also achieving reductions in manufacturing water and energy use, air emissions, and waste. Manufacturing a single-use product with 90% post-consumer recycled content PET is estimated to deliver a 65% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions associated with the resource extraction, resin production, and manufacturing lifecycle phases.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
