Green Cleaning Program

TTCC, Inc. incorporates the practice of green purchasing, specific to the acquisition of recycled-content products, environmentally preferable products and services, bio-based products, non-corrosive, non-combustible, non-reactive, and non-poisonous products, products using renewable energy, recycled content, and alternatives to hazardous or toxic chemicals.

TTCC, Inc. has worked with janitorial supply companies to set up lists of products meeting acceptable green cleaning standards. These products include not only paper products, but also the cleaning chemicals needed at each job site. Green cleaning compliance is then monitored by reviewing reports of total purchases for green products. TTCC, Inc.’s practice is to monitor these percentages on a regular basis.

Following the implementation of Executive Order 13101“Greening of the Government through Waste Prevention, Recycling, and Federal Acquisition”, TTCC, Inc. took measures to initiate the practices that support this Order by setting in place strict policies and standards for TTCC, Inc. to take a sizable lead in the service industry.

TTCC, Inc. is also in full compliance with “The White House Task Force on Waste Prevention and Recycling”, in conjunction with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Additionally, TTCC, Inc. will actively participate in any Federal Affirmative Procurement Program to meet acceptable green principles.
