NU-Products vs Chemicals
The Ecologo / Greenseal Certified
Green Products Seal
- Standards: only 60% primary biodegradability in 28 days
- Products can contain 10% VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) of their weight
- Products with accepted pH levels between 3 and 11
- Products can contain up to 1% of EDTA (ethylendiamin- tetra acetic acid-tetrasodium salt) and up to 5% of NTA (nitril triacetic acid-trisodium salt)
- Lower health risks but accepts 'important health risks' symbols on products
- Many products for one task
- Low dilution rates (1: 10 to 1: 200)
- Use costs similar to chemistry
- Equals international health and environment standards but NOT users' performance expectations
VERSUS
Enviro-Performance Seal
Bio-technological Nu-Products
- Standards: 90% ultimate biodegradability in just 14 days
- Products must NOT contain any VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)
- All products are pH neutral (pH neutral powerful degreaser!)
- Products CANNOT contain any EDTA (ethylendiamin-tetra acetic acidtetrasodium salt) and or NTA (nitril triacetic acid-trisodium salt)
- NO health risks, period
- One product for multi-tasks
- High dilution rates (1: 300 to 1: 600) Less packaging and transportaion means precycling
- Very advantageous use costs
- Surpasses international health and environment standards AND users' performance expectations
