Youth Project - Upgrading Cleaning Product Formulations to meet new Standards

FY 2025-26 · 2025-04-01

Summary
In 1998 Bebbington Industries was the first company to obtain EcoLogo certification for cleaning products. This certification has been the backbone of our marketing programs for the last 25 years. The program, initially introduced by Environment Canada, is now operated by UL who will be discontinuing the current EcoLogo standards as of November. UL has introduced new standards for certification. These new standards are more challenging than the original standards and a major time and research commitment is required to develop formulations that meet these new standards. Bebbington industries is hiring this new Chemistry graduate to do the necessary development work to enhance our existing cleaning products to meet these new standards.

Description (French)
En 1998, Bebbington Industries a été la première entreprise à obtenir la certification EcoLogo pour les produits de nettoyage. Cette certification a été l’épine dorsale de nos programmes de marketing au cours des 25 dernières années. Le programme, initialement lancé par Environnement Canada, est désormais géré par UL qui cessera d’appliquer les normes EcoLogo actuelles à partir du mois de novembre. UL a introduit de nouvelles normes de certification. Ces nouvelles normes sont plus exigeantes que les normes d’origine et il faut consacrer beaucoup de temps et d’efforts de recherche pour mettre au point des formulations qui répondent à ces nouvelles normes. Bebbington industries recrute ce nouveau diplômé en chimie pour effectuer le travail de développement nécessaire à l’amélioration de nos produits de nettoyage existants afin qu’ils répondent à ces nouvelles normes.
