Greenvenient™ in Action: A Decade of Safe, Smart Cleaning

Jelmar has championed the concept of Greenvenient™—the perfect balance of green, high-performance cleaning that doesn't sacrifice convenience. Since the inception of the EPA Safer Choice program in 2015, Jelmar has been ahead of the curve, consistently setting higher standards in environmentally responsible cleaning.

"This tenth consecutive win is a reflection of our relentless commitment to safer chemistry," said Pozen. "Our customers deserve products that work, but they also deserve peace of mind. Our mission is to create solutions that do both."

What Sets Jelmar Apart?

• Unrivaled Dedication: Jelmar's unwavering support for the EPA Safer Choice program is reflected in its portfolio of 13 Safer Choice-certified products, which generates nearly 90% of the company's sales, spanning both consumer and professional cleaning solutions.
• Innovative Formulations: From the industry-leading CLR^® Calcium, Lime & Rust Remover to the versatile CLR PRO^® Multi-Purpose Cleaner, each product is meticulously crafted with safer, greener ingredients—free from harmful phosphates, solvents, and surfactants.
• A Broader Impact: Jelmar doesn't just meet the program's standards; it exceeds them by advocating for safer chemistry across its entire supply chain, from retailers like Walmart and Target to eco-conscious consumers making informed choices.

Beyond Cleaning: A Holistic Approach to Sustainability

While Jelmar's Safer Choice-certified products set the standard for safe cleaning, the company's sustainability efforts go beyond the bottle. The company is reducing its plastic footprint, exploring sustainable packaging innovations, and inspiring change across industries, earning recognition from organizations like Atlantic Packaging.
