Traditional industry packaging, made primarily from petroleum-based plastics, emits 1.83 pounds of carbon dioxide for every 1 pound produced (as determined by Plastics Europe). \u00a0The environmental offset from using a sustainable and renewable resource such as sugar cane in its plastic packaging is significant, increasing the commitment of greenshield organic\u2122 to not only provide the safest cleaning products in the market place, but also by utilizing packaging that minimizes or reverses environmental impact .<\/p>\n<p>The packaging shift will be easily noticed, as the distinct new sugar cane green bottle color is easily recognizable.\u00a0 Laundry and dish detergents, spray and specialty cleaners will be seen on store shelves soon in the greenshield organic\u2122 brand that also features redesigned and updated logo and product labeling.<\/p>\n<p>greenshield organic\u2122 is the only complete line of USDA Certified Organic cleaning products in the United States.
