Industry Passing

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Henry E. Bonds, owner and President of Greenwood Mop & Broom, Inc. Mr. Bonds had led this company since he took over from his father in the early 1950's. He is survived by his wife of over 60 years, Freida Bonds, and a daughter, Jean Nelson. He has three grandsons, Benjamin and Eric Nelson, and Tripp Bonds.

Mr. Bonds was also active in the Greenwood community in several areas. He was an advocate and life-long supporter of the Boy Scouts of America as well as the Burton Center, an organization furthering the cause of employable individuals with disabilities. His generosity and support for these organizations were both personal passions. He was a member of St. Mark United Methodist Church. He also proudly served his country in the United States Army.

Please join his family, friends, and employees in observing this loss. Your prayers and words of support will be greatly appreciated.

Greenwood's Eco-Friendly Items

In response to an ever-increasing trend in the world to protect our natural environments, Greenwood Mop & Broom Inc. has made a focused effort to include in its product line items that are Eco-Friendly in content.

Based on the above premise, we offer two unique cleaning products for consumers to select when making informed ecological decisions. These include:

KPG (Keep the Planet Green) Deck Mops: This traditional wound style deck mop is made on a Bamwood handle with PET yarn made from recycled plastic beverage containers. Attributes include:

> Yarns made from 55% recycled PET content
> Yarn fibers are comprised of both post-consumer as well as post-industrial waste material
> Requires less energy to manufacture
> Greatly reduces solid waste, in this case beverage containers, into land fills
> Highly absorbent and dries more quickly than traditional yarns

Also, we have available to complement this mop a similarly eco-friendly broom. Its attributes include:

> Plastic fibers made from recycled plastic materials
> These fibers are derived in part from both post-consumer as well as post-industrial waste
> Brooms are wound on eco-friendly Bamwood dowels
> Plastic fibers are cleanable and more resistant to bacteria growth than traditional materials

In general, the Bamwood handles used in manufacturing both of these products are as strong as conventional hardwoods but are significantly more eco-friendly in that:

> Bamboo forests release a third more oxygen into the atmosphere than other woods
> Bamboo regenerates itself naturally without planting
> Bamboo trees grow faster than pine or hardwoods, approximately 30% faster

While these may appear to be simple and even small contributors to our environmental challenges, we feel that every step taken by a manufacturer is a step in the right direction. The ultimate choices will be made by individuals but it is important to make such products available for those choices.

Greenwood Mop & Broom Inc. encourages you to "Clean Green".
