Is there any reason for a club not to go green? Well… not that we can think of. The process, of course, requires a solid commitment, intelligent planning, and consistent follow-through, but the results—they’re all incredibly appealing: waste reduction; energy efficiency; environmental sustainability; and, in many cases, even lower costs… as the products offered by the following IHRSA associate members attest.
GOJO INDUSTRIES, INC.
GOJO’s Green Certified all-in-one, user-preferred foam wash delivers an environmentally conscientious solution. Members will appreciate their club’s commitment to the environment, and club operators will enjoy knowing that they’re getting more lather and less product waste. Each GOJO refill is sealed and sanitary, requiring no mixing, and features a new no-mess nozzle. The attractive dispenser is guaranteed for life. Contact: 800-321-9647,

JADE DISTRIBUTION, INC.
Jade is living up to its “green” name: the company offers biodegradable, eco-friendly body wash and shampoo concentrates, which help to reduce a club’s carbon footprint (compared with ready-to-use products). Reliable concen- trate-mixing stations make mixing simple, and a five-to-one dilution ratio means a huge reduction in wasted containers, caps, and boxes. Storage space for body wash and shampoo is also drastically reduced—as are the club’s costs.

BIG ASS FANS
PRODUCT SHOWCASE
The 8’ to 10’ diameter Isis is a silent, custom- izable fan for fitness applications with ceilings as low as 12’. Just one 8’ Isis covers more area than nine small ceiling fans, while using only one-third the energy. The airflow from Isis creates an evaporative cooling effect that lowers perceived temperatures and improves the comfort level of members. Isis produces sound levels of less than 40 dBA (quieter than an empty library) and is available in a wide range of custom colors. A hybrid of sleek design and industrial performance, Isis carries a 10-year non-prorated warranty with factory installation.
