Green Cleaning

Purpose and goal

In a preliminary study a plan was made on future development and use of the test bed Green Cleaning for independent evaluation of environmentally smart and efficient solutions for application in cleaning and disinfection in the food industry. The plan will be used for further work towards a full-scale test bed project. Partners for the operation of the test bed have been identified and discussions have begun. Needs and focus of the business has been anchored with future customers / users.

Results and expected effects

Green Cleaning will be an open and neutral test bed providing independent testing of products, services and processes. Other areas of activity are the development, training, certification and technical intelligence. SIK is the planned owner. Green Cleaning will lead to increased development and use of environmentally smart and effective solutions for cleaning and disinfection in the food industry, which in turn leads to less resource consumption, and increased economic growth and food quality.

Approach and implementation

The project was led by SIK in collaboration with SP Certification and the hygiene technology company Lagafors AB. The work was carried out at four internal project working meetings. An external workshop was held with invited participants representing future key stakeholders and customers to the platform in the food processing, machine / process equipment, cleaning and hygiene, as well as experts in SP. A plan was compiled over intended development and use of the test bed.
