Hero™ Ups the Environmental Benefits with Innovative "Upcycling"
Hero Biobased Cleaning Products rise above standard biobased cleaners by using "post-consumer vegetable oil" as a raw ingredient. Manufactured with an innovative process that can be described as "Upcycling", Hero is better for the environment than typical biobased cleaners. Upcycling means turning a used material into a more valuable product rather than more of the same product as with recycling. Hero is manufactured using upcycled vegetable oil in our custom facility in Elk Grove Village, Illinois using the latest technologies. Vegetable oil which is naturally Green and biobased. And because we use the vegetable oil after it has been used for cooking, we do not compete with the food supply chain for raw materials making Hero's environmental footprint even smaller.. A "grave to cradle" opportunity that is great for the environment, great for cleaning, great for conserving resources, and great for your bottom line!
Hero™ Saves Money and Natural Resources with Very Low Lifecycle Cost
The United Soybean Board advises taking a larger view when analyzing costs. Consider the lifecycle of the resources consumed as well as the process of cleaning including disposal. Hero Biobased Products are powerful and concentrated. “One and Done” describes Hero’s ability to clean in one pass when others take more passes and more product saving you time and money. And by Upcycling post-consumer vegetable oil, Hero has one of the Lowest Life Cycle Costs of biobased cleaning products. These features lead Hero's low cost-per-use and favorable end-of-life considerations. Hero is the right environmental choice to make today.
Hero™ is Sustainability in a Bottle
Sustainability is a new way of thinking about an age-old concern: ensuring that our children and grand-children inherit a tomorrow that is at least as good as today, preferably better. To achieve such a sustainability there must be a balance between resources used and resources regenerated. The viability, integrity, and diversity of natural systems must be restored and maintained. So Sustainability is also about families, communities, and society as well as air, water, and earth. And Sustainability is inescapably about economics, because the economy is the means by which we, as individuals, relate to our natural and social environments. Sustainability is a way for us to preserve the legacies of future generations and is the broadest, most inclusive definition of our environmental protection stewardship. Hero helps achieve these requirements of sustainability.
Hero™ is USDA BioPreferred Certified
The Federal Government is taking the lead in the market for biobased products. Federal Government organizations have been mandated to buy biobased products when possible to help not only the environment but to expand the market for farm products. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is in the process of defining the biobased percentages that products in various categories must meet to satisfy Federal Standards and be designated "BioPreferred". We are proud that Hero Biobased Cleaning Products exceed the BioPreferred biobased percentages and are listed in the BioPreferred Program Database. The USDA is in the processes of finalizing the BioPreferred Labeling Program which Hero Biobased Cleaning Products will be certified to display. And with many local governments following the Federal Government's lead and enacting similar biobased requirements, Hero is an excellent solution to help provide compliance with these new regulations.
