In FY17, Temple University made the switch to a green cleaning line. The university requires its cleaning products (with the exception of its quaternary disinfectant) to meet independent verified green cleaning standards. Products used on campus must meet the following criteria:

  • Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified (paper products);
  • Green Seal certified; or,
  • EPA Safer Choice labeled.

This builds on the university's green cleaning practices at the Health Science Campus, which were recognized in 2012.
