Foam Soap
Foam soap conserves water by reducing water waste by up to 40%. Foam soap is instant lather so wash time is shortened, conserving water. Foam packaging also eliminate the traditional “bag in a box” soap which accounts for significant reduction in cardboard waste and plastic.
Micro-FiberCleaning Products
Micro-Fiber cleaning products are 100% biodegradable products which the added advantage electrostatic charged fibers that draw in dust and dirt to avoid cross-contamination (twice the pick up of traditional sweepers).
Orbio Technology
Orbio is the latest in a series of revolutionary technologies that help cleaning professionals clean spaces without the potential health and safety risks associated with traditional cleaning chemicals. It take tap water, a small amount of salt and electricity to create an effective multi-purpose cleaning solution that greatly reduces the environmental footprint associated with packaged conventional cleaners in use today.
ec-H2O technology uses oxygen and a small electrical current to turn tap water into an effective cleaning solution capable of removing dirt and soil from hard floor surfaces.
Water is infused with oxygen to create highly oxygenated water. A small charge is applied to the water via an electrolysis cell, creating a blended stream of positively and negatively charged oxygenated water capable of attacking soil. Mechanical agitation provided by the scrubber then easily removes the soil and water from the surface. After 45 seconds, the charged water has recombined leaving only water and soil in the scrubber tank. Tennant T16 Rider Scrubber
Nobles Speed Scrub 28” Scrubber
At the start of the 2012 Phillies Season, (3) new scrubbing machines were introduced that utilize the ionization process of ec-H2O technology. The (2) new Tennant T16 Rider Scrubbers, and Nobles 28” Speed Scrubber have had a major impact on the the cleaning process by maximizing cleaning time, reducing the use of chemicals, increasing safety, and promoting a healthy environment.
Eco Friendly Cleaning Processes
Since the ballparks inception, Global Spectrum has relentlessly been analyzing their cleaning processes and searching for new techniques, products, and equipment that are more eco-friendly and safer for the environment. Their efforts have resulted in safer chemicals, higher landfill diversion rates, and more awareness about our environmental impact.
In June of the 2012 Season, the Phillies extended the Red Goes Green program to include food and organics composting. As Phillies and Aramark kitchen staff members prepare for each game, all food scraps are composted through the program. The material is then hauled away from the ballpark by Waste Management and delivered to the Wilmington Organic Recycling Center where it is turned into valued, re-useable product such as feed for livestock, fertilizer or soil amendments.
