If toilet roll and Hand roll is FSC Certified then it can take count as sustainable product category in the Janitorial paper Product Category.

FAQs about EQc7:

What types of cleaning products are often overlooked when documenting the credit?

I’ve heard that you can exclude certain types of trash liners. Is this true?

Do I need to track additional cleaning products like dust mops, brooms, spray bottles and the like?

How should we account for cleaning practices that are done by an outside vendor and only once or twice a year—for example, stone polishing performed semi-annually by a stone polishing company or window cleaning performed quarterly?

Are microfiber rags included in these credit calculations?

Would it be sufficient to include a print out of the Green Seal website that lists the certified products?

In multi-tenant buildings, can I achieve this credit by excluding the spaces that are not under owner-operator control?

How should projects outside the U.S. submit for this credit, where Green Seal or UL Ecologo labeled products aren’t available but local products might meet the credit intent?
