3.SUSTAINABLE CLEANING

Plastic Diversion and Reuse

Dustbane is at the forefront of sustainable cleaning practices. From selling concentrates to diverting plastic jugs from landfills to using 75% recycled plastic in our DB series vacuums, we constantly seek ways to enhance product performance while minimizing environmental impact.

Support Local, Reduce Carbon Footprint

Dustbane is a Canadian family-owned business operating since 1908, committed to the local economy and reducing the carbon footprint associated with international shipping and transportation. When you buy products and equipment from Dustbane, you not only choose sustainable and locally sourced products but also contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and support a more environmentally friendly supply chain.

ECOLOGO® Certified Products

We offer a wide range of ECOLOGO® certified cleaning products to help reduce your environmental impact. These certifications indicate that our product has undergone rigorous scientific testing, exhaustive auditing, or both, to prove its compliance with stringent, third-party, environmental performance standards.

Bio-based Enzymatic Cleaners

At the core of our environmental commitment, our bio-based product line takes a natural approach to cleaning. Harnessing the power of ‘good’ bacteria that eat away soil and dirt, they are formulated to work quickly without the use of harsh chemicals, outperforming traditional cleaners. Thus, our products are not only non-toxic and biodegradable but safer for people, pets and the planet!

LEED-Compliance

We are ahead of the game with the majority of our commercial cleaning products and equipment, including floor finishes, strippers, disposable janitorial paper products, and trash bags, adhering to LEED standards. Our products can smoothly fit into your existing LEED cleaning practices or even help you score towards your LEED certification requirements.

Our Certifications showcase our commitment and give you the trust that you are making the right choice!

4.ACTS OF KINDNESS

Community care is integral to our ethos. It has been said about Dustbane’s founder, Chester Pickering, that: “He would do for others that they could not do for themselves.”

Giving Back Where We Live and Work

Community care has been part of Dustbane’s values since our founding. Acts of Kindness reflects our belief that businesses have a responsibility to support the people and communities around them, beyond the products they sell.

Supporting Local Communities

Dustbane actively supports local community organizations through hands-on involvement and donations. From providing essential cleaning supplies to participating in local initiatives, our goal is to make a practical, positive difference where support is needed most.

Working with Ottawa Mission

In partnership with The Ottawa Mission, Dustbane contributes products and participates in annual initiatives that support individuals and families experiencing food insecurity and housing challenges. Our team takes part directly, reinforcing a culture of service and shared responsibility.

A Culture of Care

Acts of Kindness is not a one-time initiative. It is embedded in how we operate as a company, encouraging our employees, partners, and customers to contribute to stronger, more resilient communities.
