Green Chemistry

Not long ago, helping save the environment was considered a poor business decision. Not only was it difficult and costly, but generally the performance of everything associated with such a project was poor.

Things have changed for the better, however.

Recent developments in the science of chemistry has proven that saving the environment was no longer just a dream, but a realizable goal for a better tomorrow. The time to make the switch to GREEN has arrived. Being GREEN has become a tangible reality for almost every sector of business.

Not only can you sleep better at night by doing the right thing, it won't cost you an arm and a leg either. Save money by reducing your waste disposal costs and minimizing liability due to the negative side effects of non-Eco safe products.

We use these icons to represent our levels of GREEN:

EPA DfE Logo

EPA Design for the Environment GREEN Certified Products (contact us for verification details) - The highest quality in GREEN Technology. Biodegradable and ultra low toxicity. The best choice for Schools, Hospitals, Governmental, and other organizations which must comply with modern regulations or wish to be as safe as possible. These are the pinnacle of Enviro-safe Formulations.

ECO FRIENDLY

Designed to be compliant with EPA DfE Guidelines, though not currently approved. A more economical choice for those who don't need EPA certified products, but want the ultimate in GREEN Eco-safe technology. Products not showing this logo are currently being re-formulated to meet these specific criteria.

biodegradable

Legacy product that does not meet EPA DfE standards due to any of the following:
May not biodegrade 100% in 30 days
May have a pH higher than 11
May contain glycol ether EB (questionable toxicity in high concentrations)



These products do not have a Green alternative as of yet but are still necessary for certain operations which require specialized chemistry.

Non-Phosphate

Typically found in conjunction with the Biodegradable Label. These products can still be used, as alternatives may not exist yet. We are always looking to improve our technology however, so check back for changes.

We can also custom create products for customers with specific GREEN-requests. You can rest assured that your choices are not going to affect the environment negatively now or in the future.

GREEN for your Pocket, and the Planet.

Regarding Sustainability:
An important topic to consider when making your decision to switch to Green-type products (including cleaners). While it is not a completely new idea, the ability to create products based off of Renewable Resources is still in it’s infancy. There are some options however. When ever possible, we do try to create products which are based on sources which can be harvested without adversely affecting the eco-system. We are currently developing a whole new line of products which will be 70-100% based on Sustainable feedstocks, helping to eliminate our dependence on synthetic and limited resources.
