Explaining GreenLeaf Sustainable Selection

What is GreenLeaf™ by Arrow County Supplies?

GreenLeaf™ is Arrow County Supplies’ dedicated sustainable selection label, design to help customers easily identify sustainable supplies that meet high environmental standards. More than just a label, it’s a transparent sustainable selection framework that ensures every product marked with the GreenLeaf™ delivers measurable sustainable benefit.

Why choose GreenLeaf™ Sustainable Supplies?

Using eco-friendly products is one of the biggest ways to reduce environmental impact. But with so many products claiming to be ‘green’, choosing sustainable cleaning products can be confusing.

Arrow County Supplies’ GreenLeaf™ Sustainable Selection simplifies this process by assessing products against clear sustainability criteria. Every product is evaluated against three core sustainability pillars, including:

  • Producer: Is the product is manufactured using sustainable practices?

  • Product: What are the environmental impacts of the product, including raw materials, certification and end-of-life disposal?

  • Packaging: Is the packaging recyclable, made from recycled content or certified as sustainable?

This structured sustainable selection process ensures Arrow County Supplies robustly evaluate the environmental impact of all products, including:

  • Reviewing environmental certifications and accreditations

  • Verifying sustainability claims and standards

  • Assessing packaging materials and disposal options

To earn the GreenLeaf™ label, a product must meet at least one benchmark in each pillar, ensuring a consistent and robust sustainability standard across all Arrow County Supplies’ GreenLeaf™ products.

Products that pass this assessment are clearly marked with the GreenLeaf™ label, making it easy for buyers to identify sustainable supplies and understand their environmental impact.

Where can I find GreenLeaf™ information?

GreenLeaf™ sustainability information for all products is listed on Arrow’s Arrow Connect portal, which provides detailed environmental impact data for each item. This includes:

  • Environmental certifications and accreditations (e.g. FSC, EU Ecolabel)

  • Sustainability benchmarks met

  • Packaging and disposal information

This transparency helps procurement teams, facilities managers and sustainability leads make informed decisions aligned with their sustainability goals.
