Ettore Products Company has allocated considerable resources to combat pollution waste through the removal of plastic from our packaging, raising awareness about the sustainability of our products, and incorporating recycled materials as necessary.
Priority Moving Forward
In 2022, Ettore Products Company prioritized educating our customers about our Green Initiative. Leveraging our 85-year legacy of innovation in the Window Cleaning Industry with the creation of the modern-day squeegee, we remain steadfast in our dedication to offering top-quality sustainable tools.
Our commitment goes beyond mere packaging redesign; we now guarantee that our packaging is recycled, in line with our objective of reducing environmental waste. Throughout the years, we've continuously strived to become an eco-friendly company.
And now, we're thrilled to announce that we're taking further steps to educate and drive meaningful action in promoting sustainability.
