A highlight for nanopool® GmbH at the BIOFACH 2019 trade fair: the 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.
According to the organisation, the “GREEN BRANDS” seal is awarded following its own evaluation process.
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. Selected properties of nanopool® products have been examined by recognised research laboratories; all statements apply only to the tested products and test conditions.
With “Die grünen Helden®“, nanopool® has succeeded in making its experience from industrial and commercial products accessible to end consumers. Surfaces refined with “Die grünen Helden®“ are designed to reduce the adhesion of dirt and bacteria and, depending on the degree of soiling, can be cleaned with plain water, without the addition of chemicals. This can reduce the amount of cleaning agents entering wastewater, where they can damage wastewater bacteria that are needed for biological wastewater treatment.
