DfE Program

SYSCO has joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Design for the Environment (DfE) program which seeks and promotes innovative chemical products, technologies and practices that benefit human health and the environment.

As part of the membership agreement, SYSCO has developed an improved set of 16 of its Earth Plus brand cleaning products for institutional laundering, dish washing, glass and surface cleaning, odor treatment and multi-purpose cleaning. Through the use of these substances, which contain no inorganic phosphates, chlorine bleach or environmentally harmful surfactants common to most detergents and cleaners, 92,142 pounds of phosphates have been replaced by DfE reformulations since the program was initiated.
