RIDGEWOOD, NJ--(Marketwire - July 6, 2010) - Green Bridge Industries, Inc. (
Green Bridge Industries' environmentally friendly cleaning products were tested for their cleaning efficacy against conventional, non-green products that use chemicals, which are generally more harmful and potentially toxic to the environment. According to the tests, performed at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, the Company's products' performance and efficacy results surpassed that of the non-green products it was tested against ([ www.greenbridgeindustries.com ]). In addition, Green Bridge is certifying its Parts Wash, Vehicle Wash, and Grease Trap Cleaner under the Green Seal™ GS-34 (Industrial Degreaser) category, and those performance results also surpassed Green Seal™'s requirements.
