ALBANY, NY (Feb. 14, 2011)-The
Cleaning Industry Research Institute International (CIRI) is pleased to announce the release of its second survey designed
to help organizers further develop pertinent, topical information for CIRI's upcoming Cleaning Science
Symposium, “Green Cleaning &
Science.” The event will be held at the Georgia Institute of Technology
Conference Center in Atlanta, April 27-29, 2011.
"The results of this second, more
in-depth survey will help us define specific topics to be examined throughout
the symposium and allow us to get a better feel for how our industry perceives
the science of green cleaning. The event’s interactive format will set the
stage for a colorful debate among invited panelists and attendees on the
relationship between clean and green,” explains Dr. Steven Spivak, Chairman of
the CIRI Science Advisory Council. “The
questions focus on the relationship between these two issues and were derived
from data collected in the first survey,” added Dr. Steven Spivak, Science
Advisory Council Chairman.
The program will focus on cleaning
efficacy, health and hygiene implications accruing to or absent from green
cleaning and the green movement. Panel discussions will address the following
topics:
- How will the success
of the “green cleaning” concept be measured?
- Where is the balance between
“green cleaning” and “cleaning for health?
- What are the environmental,
economic and health benefits and tradeoffs associated with cleaning programs
“going green?”
- What research is needed as the
basis for green labeling and certification?
- What will “green cleaning” look
like in 10 years?
