About Norwex

Norwex is committed to radically reducing the use of chemicals in personal care and cleaning to promote health. More than ever we feel the need to emphasize the positive environmental impact of reducing chemical use.
During the past several hundred years, human activity has significantly altered our global environment, and the negative effects of this are becoming alarmingly clear. No longer can we ignore the warning signs from nature. This trend can be changed if we all work together and take honest responsibility for our planet. It is a fact, household pollutants impact our environment. A radical reduction in the use of chemicals is an important step to improve the health of our planet and our quality of life.
The Norwex corporate vision for our products reaches far beyond the limited horizon of just making a profit; we are striving for a better quality of life for present and future generations. Our deep central theme is reverence for the value and beauty of all life on a healthy planet. Join us in our effort to improve quality of life in a profound way!

  Mission Statement

  To improve quality of life by radically reducing the use of chemicals in personal care and cleaning.
  
  Health & Ecology
  In the last 50 years more than 80,000 new chemicals have been produced and introduced into the environment. "Ecology" refers to the way human beings, animals, and other life forms and nature interact and influence each other.
  The ecological approach considers that all living species and nature are interdependent, and that there are limitations to what nature can absorb in terms of human activities such as pollution.  Change something here, and the consequences will pop up there.  Radical change -- manmade or otherwise -- may overwhelm the delicate balance in the environment, resulting in unintended and dramatic negative change.
  We must find a way to provide for the needs of the present, without sacrificing the ability of future generations to provide for their needs.  Contributing to the change by becoming part of the Norwex family will result in an improvement in quality of life.
  "We strive to improve quality of life rather than standard of living."
  Behind this aim lies the value and beauty of life itself, both for us, and other life forms. 
  From a health point of view, it is equally important to radically reduce the use of household chemicals.  Research and information on the health effects of chemicals has not kept pace with their development and use. "Most of the chemicals that people are exposed to everyday have never been assessed for their impact on human health."
  The harm chemicals have on humans is extensive.  Chemicals found in the average home are linked to many serious diseases such as allergies, birth defects, cancer, and psychological abnormalities.  Many today believe that the extensive use of chemicals indoors contributes to "modern" diseases such as asthma and allergies.
