BioHygiene awarded Global GreenTag HealthRATE Platinum status

BioHygiene has been awarded the prestigious Global GreenTag HealthRATE Platinum Rated Status (Asthma & Allergy). As a manufacturer committed to both environmental sustainability and human health, this highest-level certification reaffirms that its efforts are truly making a difference. Not only does this recognition strengthen confidence in its business practices, but it also provides BioHygiene  customers with the assurance that they are using eco-certified products designed to protect both the planet and human health.

Who Are Global GreenTag?

Working to help consumers and manufacturers cut through the greenwashing that is rife across industries, Global GreenTag is a globally recognised eco-certification body, committed to restoring trust within the green marketplace. Recognised in over 70 countries, Global GreenTag stands as one of the world’s most robust, trusted, and widely recognised eco-labels. Its mission is to empower consumers and businesses to make truly planet – and health –  friendly choices by ensuring all products certified under its name meet high standards of environmental and health performance. To achieve this, it requires complete transparency regarding product ingredients and processes from certified businesses.

Global GreenTag Product Health Declarations (PHDs) mark a significant advancement in eco-friendly certification, ensuring products surpass rigorous health and environmental standards. At the core of this initiative is transparency, providing essential information about ingredients and their potential hazards through a clearly defined tiering  system.

Certified products are:

  • genuinely healthy;
  • have undergone stringent toxicity evaluation;
  • utilise a simple colour key to communicate risks;
  • identify potential risks; and
  • clearly explore health and environmental toxicity.

The Platinum certification signifies the healthiest options, free from toxic implications and utilising only the safest or most natural ingredients, verified by external third-party toxicologists for reliability.

This certification not only reduces environmental impact but also highlights health benefits in user health, worker safety, and environmental health. It sets a new benchmark by assessing the health impacts of the final product, not just ingredient hazards. Plus, it complies with the ISO 14204 Type 1 Ecolabel, demonstrating compliance with an accredited independent auditing body. It is also endorsed by globally recognised building standards like LEED and WELL, which focus on sustainability, the environment and human health.

BioHygiene’s Platinum Certification 

Cleaning brand, BioHygiene, has achieved the prestigious Global GreenTag HealthRATE Platinum Rated Status (Asthma & Allergy) for some of their most popular products! This is the highest award possible from this certification.

These BioHygiene products now carry a globally trusted eco-label, having been rigorously tested and evaluated against one of the toughest scientific scorecards in the world. This achievement not only provides solid proof of BioHygiene’s commitment to sustainability but also demonstrates that its products consider the full environmental impact—from production to post-use—while reflecting its unwavering dedication to protecting both people and the planet.

As a business committed to transparency, people, and the planet, this certification with a body that aligns so closely with its values is an exciting milestone for BioHygiene. It showcases that its mission and decades of meticulous work are being recognised at the highest level.

BioHygiene says it will continue to apply these principles across its entire product range.

Carolyn Jones, Director of Chemistry and Innovation said: “We consciously chose to work with Global GreenTag to gain this prestigious accolade as we strongly believe this globally recognised and rigorous certification that considers both user and environmental safety, allows us to demonstrate most effectively our commitment to delivering planet positive, innovative, safe and sustainable cleaning solutions. The journey to accreditation has been a long one, but it has been reassuring to have been guided and supported by such consummate professionals who have truly understood and supported our vision.”
