The Iowa State University custodial staff has made sustainability part of their daily routine.

The ISU custodians use Echo Mops made from recycled bottles. An estimated 4,976 bottles are reused through this practice.

Additionally, ISU uses LEED products including recycled paper towels, toilet paper and chlorine free solutions.
