At Stearns Packaging Corporation, we have maintained an unwavering commitment to our customers, to our workers, and to environmental sustainability since our inception in 1951. To ensure earth-friendly corporate practices, Stearns promotes innovation in product formulation, package design, sensible use of resources, and elimination of waste.

• Our ongoing efforts are focused on the development and extensive use of non-toxic cleaning products shipped in source-reduced recyclable premeasured packs. We integrate environmentally preferred chemistry, Dispenser-Free Control Systems®, and sourcereduced, recyclable packaging.
• Our latest formulations meet the stringent Green Seal GS-37 criteria, U.S. Green Building Council standards, and/or the U.S. EPA’s “Design for the Environment” recognition program; EPA / DfE.
• Our premeasured products and Dispenser-Free Control Systems® reduce packaging by up to 90%. These innovations give Stearns the lowest carbon footprint of any cleaning system in the industry.
• Using safer, environmentally-preferable concentrates and source-reduced, recyclable packaging reduces shipping costs, landfill fees and the waste associated with plastic gallons, pails and drums.

Our concept of producing safer formulations in a premeasured platform ensures accurate measurement and enhanced safety while it exemplifies our commitment to environmental accountability.

Based in Madison, Wisconsin, a city renowned for its progressive policies, Stearns is dedicated to reduce, reuse, and recycle. We strive to meet the environmental needs of our customers, our community and our planet.
