COVER STORY
Naturally powerful, people-kind cleaning agents
Marcel in het Veld, CEO and founder of HYGENIQ and Global Ambassador i-hygienic, an i-team Global brand, reveals how plant-based innovation redefines safe, sustainable cleaning.
When we talk about sustainability, we’re not just talking about the environmental aspect: the human side of cleaning is also a key issue for us. Cleaning teams shouldn’t have to choose between safety, greener practices and effectiveness. We know the challenges. Toxic cleaning agents that put cleaners at risk, an overload of products with confusing claims, ever-evolving compliance demands and cost pressures are a few examples.
i-hygienic is the first global supplier of plant-based cleaning agents that match or exceed the performance of petroleum- based alternatives. The range reflects i-team Global’s mission to provide products that make a positive impact on cleaners as well as the planet. Innovations should be designed to help them do their work faster, safer and in a greener way.
The i-hygienic range focuses on helping businesses reduce CO2
₂emissions and make sustainable, safe, everyday
choices. This focus on positive impact is reinforced by i-team Global’s B Corp certification, gained in July 2025, which reflects the bigger picture. Balancing profit with purpose, it looks at everything, from the treatment of people to how products are designed. The i-hygienic range aligns with the rigorous social and environmental standards required for B Corp certification, showing how products and business practices move in the same direction.
Here's how you can achieve smarter cleaning with i-hygienic, in five steps:
1) Faster
Choosing the right product shouldn’t be complicated. That’s why we’ve created 10 product categories that enable clearer, faster selection. With fewer SKUs needed to cover all professional cleaning, businesses can reduce stock, simplify ordering and lower costs. The intuitive formulas come with a variety of efficient dosing options to ensure the right balance between efficiency, ease of use and optimal portion control. Choices include dispensers, bottles, tubes, jars and flow packs, depending on the application. Pods that are compatible with i-team cleaning machines, like our flagship i-mop range, are also part of the collection.
We’ve also developed an easy-to-use, three-step online product selector tool that can be used on the go, on phones or laptops. This helps you easily find the right solution for the cleaning task in just a few clicks, and then select a suitable dosing system. Within each category, the cleaning solutions are grouped into four product segments so you can always find what you need. Additionally, each bottle features a QR code that links directly to the safety data sheet, available in multiple languages across 80 countries.
The four product segments are: • Daily Cleaners
The foundation of your cleaning routine. For everyday cleaning of surfaces and floors. • Daily Specialists
For specific daily cleaning tasks that require a specialised product. • Heavy-Duty Cleaners
Extra high-performance formulas to tackle stubborn dirt and deep cleaning challenges. • Troubleshooters and specials
Specialists in a bottle, providing targeted solutions for unique and tough cleaning problems.
2) Cleaner The powerful, biodegradable detergents handle daily, heavy-duty and specialised cleaning tasks, removing dirt thoroughly, delivering proven, visibly cleaner results every time. Products are tailored for settings including washroom cleaning, floorcare, surface cleaning, commercial kitchen hygiene, machine dishwashing, laundry service, outdoor spaces and more. For example, our ecological, strong degreasing, unscented kitchen cleaner is ideal for cleaning all surfaces in areas where food is handled, such as hospitality, large kitchens and food production areas.
3) Greener The entire product range is CO2
formulas are biodegradable and absorb CO2
negative. The plant-based during the

The packaging is carbon- negative, made using 100% renewable and recyclable materials in a zero-carbon production facility. The CO2 savings equate to 1.8kg CO2
₂ ₂per kg of packaging.
