Product Care is a voluntary stewardship program for members
of the Consumer Specialty Products Association. It was created
in 2001 as a way to promote the production and distribution
of safe and effective formulated products that provide desirable
benefits for household, commercial, institutional and industrial
customers as well as consumers, their families and pets.
The Consumer Specialty Products Association is the premier
trade association representing the interests of the consumer
and institutional specialty products – a dynamic industry
that provides households, institutions and industrial customers
with products that help provide a cleaner and healthier
environment.
The logo means that the company displaying it has agreed
to use a voluntary code of management practice that provides
a framework of guidelines for developing, manufacturing,
distributing and marketing its products.
Product Care was initiated as a way for participants to
promote the production and distribution of safe and effective
formulated products. It provides a framework that emphasizes
product stewardship considerations in each and every step
of product development and use from concept to disposal.
A consumer specialty product is used around the home to
satisfy a specific need. It may be cleaning product for
use in or around the home or on vehicles, a disinfectant
that kills germs in the bathroom or kitchen, a pest management
product to protect against disease carrying insects, a polish
for your floor or furniture, or a candle or air freshener
to make your home more enjoyable. Consumer specialty products
are designed to make household tasks easier and frequently
provide health benefits and improve the quality of life.
Institutional specialty products are used in hospitals,
restaurants, hotels, office buildings, schools and other
commercial areas to clean and protect the people who use
them. They include products like disinfectants and disinfectant
cleaners that sanitize bathrooms and protect kitchens and
dining areas, carpet cleaners and floor polishes that enhance
and protect commercial buildings, and janitorial products
that protect public facilities and work environments.
