Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The totals above are based on materials released from our inventory program during the period between January 3rd and December 30th of 2022. The cleaning products data is based on the primary cleaning chemicals only. There are other chemicals in use at much lower volumes that may not meet green certification. However, for this report the known commodities were the focus. The paper products are all green certified.
