ABSTRACT

The American Cleaning Institute (ACI) serves the growth and innovation of the U.S. cleaning products industry by advancing the health and quality of life of people and protecting our planet. With a continued commitment to sustainability, its experts have developed guidance and associated roadmaps on key raw materials used in the cleaning product supply chain to increase the number of products on the market that use more sustainable ingredients.

These roadmaps are developed by: (1) Identifying relevant feedstocks, risks and sustainability opportunities across cleaning ingredient portfolios; (2) Increasing the use of more sustainable feedstocks and feedstocks created with more sustainable production practices across cleaning ingredient portfolios; and (3) Collaborating across the cleaning products value chain to drive increased transparency, availability and adoption of more sustainable feedstocks.

The Sustainable Feedstocks Initiative
The American Cleaning Institute developed a new initiative to define and drive the use of more sustainable feedstocks in cleaning product ingredients and products throughout the industry. The Sustainable Feedstocks Initiative is aimed at creating a definition of sustainable feedstocks and developing guidance to increase the number of cleaning products on the market that use more sustainable ingredients.
