This one-hour course as we explore practical solutions to combat the threat of infectious bacteria on surfaces in restrooms, focusing on the human and environmental health benefits of combining germ-resistant HDPE and bactericidal copper products. Professionals will not only learn how to design a cleaner and healthier environment but also why product transparency and responsible manufacturing are important considerations when specifying for restrooms.
