A highlight for nanopool® GmbH at the BIOFACH 2019 trade fair: the globally novel water-saving household product series “Die grünen Helden®” (the Green Heroes) received the GREEN BRANDS Germany award for the first time. At the world’s largest organic trade fair in Nuremberg, Saskia and Sascha Schwindt received the certificate from Norbert Lux, initiator and managing director of the GREEN BRANDS Organisation.
GREEN BRANDS honors everyday brands that have anchored a responsible approach to nature in their working and production methods.
The GREEN BRANDS seal of quality is awarded on the basis of a globally unique, three-stage process: Nomination – through market research, nomination by NGOs, interest groups, media partners or jury members. Validation – experts determine the brand’s standing on the GREEN BRANDS Index using scientifically developed catalogues of criteria. Jury decision – final assessment of the validation results and the ultimate authority for granting the award.
The “GREEN BRANDS” seal of quality confirms a brand’s high ecological quality standards and serves as a guide for consumers. The seal gives consumers a reliable indication of a company’s responsible working and production methods and is thus an excellent aid when choosing and making decisions.
Saskia Schwindt: “We are delighted that, as the first manufacturer of liquid glass technology for professional use, our product line ‘Die Grünen Helden’ has been awarded the Green Brands Germany seal of quality.”
About nanopool® and “Die grünen Helden®“
nanopool® GmbH, based in Hülzweiler, is an innovative family-owned company.
Since 2002, it has been among the companies working with nanotechnology in the field of surface refinement.
nanopool® has succeeded in developing a surface refinement for almost every field of application. All nanopool® products are based on the latest scientific findings. The effectiveness of the food-safe products, which have won environmental awards, has been tested by recognized research laboratories and confirmed by certificates.
With “Die grünen Helden®“, nanopool® has succeeded in making its experience from industrial and commercial products accessible to end consumers. Dirt and bacteria find hardly any adhesion on surfaces refined with “Die grünen Helden®“, and the surfaces can be cleaned with plain water, without the addition of chemicals. This is a great relief for nature, because all cleaning agents end up in wastewater and significantly disrupt the natural ecosystem by damaging a large proportion of the wastewater bacteria that are urgently needed for biological wastewater treatment.
