Green Spa Certification Program Requirements:
Spas and salons must meet 60% of the following requirements in order to be recognized as an Eminence Organics Green Spa.

• Use power strips in treatment rooms and office areas and turn them off when equipment is not in use.
• Use reusable or biodegradable options whenever possible with your food and beverage services instead of paper and plastic cups, plates and flatware.
• Establish an in-spa recycling awareness program. Place recycling bins next to trash cans with clearly marked signs indicating what constitutes acceptable waste.
• Use natural, non-toxic, biodegradable cleaning supplies instead of chemical-based products.
• Limit the amount of linens provided to guests. Offer only what they may need with the option of additional linens upon request. This would include towels, robes, etc.
• Purchase all condiments and supplies (cream, sugar, paper goods, and hand soaps) in bulk. This is also a wise financial choice.
• Buy organic and Fair Trade coffee.
• Adjust A/C by two degrees in the summer and turn your thermostat down two degrees in the winter to use less energy. This will also save you money on your hydro bills.
• Use halogen, LED, CLF or low-voltage track lighting in at least 50% of your sources.
• Program all computer monitors to sleep mode after 15 minutes or more.
• Use filtered water taps instead of buying bottles of drinking water. This is a cheaper alternative to buying bottled water and limits waste.
• Print all marketing materials on recycled paper with eco-friendly inks.
• Reuse paper for in-spa memos, notes, scratch paper.
• Display the Eminence Organics Green Brochure in prominent areas around your spa.
• Designate time at staff meetings to discuss new and existing environmental efforts.
• Provide staff with information on how they can improve their green efforts at home as well in the spa.
