Can floor cleaning be gentle and sustainable?
Eco-Friendly Tile Cleaning in Public Buildings – Legally Compliant and Sustainable with systeco
In public buildings, regular and efficient cleaning is essential. As more cleaning tasks are outsourced to external facility service providers, the focus is shifting away from simply purchasing cleaning agents and toward meeting environmental and legal requirements in tenders and service contracts.
With the revised § 97 (4) of the German GWB (Act Against Restraints of Competition), public authorities are now legally permitted to include environmental criteria in their tender documents. This is particularly relevant for floor and tile cleaning, where the use of chemical cleaning agents is increasingly restricted.
