The harsh chemicals traditionally used to clean may have done their jobs well, but they have also wreaked havoc on the environment – and on human health.
Eco-friendly products have been developed for everything from light domestic cleaning to industrial scale cleaning and effluent management, wastewater and sewage treatment, and oil spills. This is now a big industry in itself, with continual research and development of environmentally friendly and corrective solutions.
The importance of this cannot be underestimated. Eco friendly products are not only the responsible choice – they are the future of cleaning and waste treatment. If not already mandated by law, it will be.
Eco-friendly products – for home cleaning to sewage treatment:
- Do not release additional pollutants in the environment, whether into air, soil, or water.
- Some products can help the environment – e.g. water and sewage treatments with beneficial microbes and bacteria, including those that can ‘eat’ inorganic solid waste like toilet paper, and organic pollutants such as fats.
- Traditional cleaning products often contain volatile compounds, e.g. chlorine. These are released into the air gasses, and can be hazardous to your health when breathed in.
- Chemicals in traditional cleaning products can cause damage to marine and terrestrial life. They either destroy plants and kill animals directly, or they build up in plants and animal tissues and are passed on in the food chain.
Choose eco-friendly cleaning products and services and invest in a better future:
- Eco-friendly cleaning products are essential if we want to prevent further catastrophic damage to the environment – especially the aquatic and marine environments.
- They are also better for human health – directly, or indirectly through environmental benefits.
The more we dedicate ourselves to, and invest in, eco-friendly cleaning and clean-up products and solutions, the better. Apart from the direct impacts, we are investing in the development of even better, faster, and more effective products – for household cleaning to sewage and oil spills, to solid waste and other wastewater treatments.
