Durability is an under-appreciated part of the sustainability equation, but makes a difference in the environmental impact of a product. Did you know that it takes 4X as many competitive pads to strip a floor efficiently, compared to a 3M brand stripping pad?* 3M floor pads need to be replaced less often, resulting in fewer pads in landfills.

Protecting the environment while ensuring your floors get the best care is 3M’s number one goal. That’s why we start with at least 50% post-consumer recycled materials* and then add high performance, water-based latex resins to maximize pad durability and value.

The majority of 3M pads sold in the USA are also made in the USA, with an exception of a few that are manufactured in Canada and France. 3M has made it a goal to localize our supply chains, source raw materials and make products in plants closer to our customers, which means less energy is consumed when moving our products all over the world.
