Robert Squires Manager, Custodial Services Trillium Lakelands District School

Testimonials From Distributors:

“Given the growing interest and demand in ‘green’ chemicals, we extensively reviewed the products available making claims that they are safer for people and the environment. We wanted products that would provide our customers with demonstrated value. We found a lot of products that could not be proven to be green and/or a lot of products that did not perform. After a thorough search, we concluded that Enviro-Solutions, with their broad product offering, their Eco-Logo Certification, their claims being independently third party verified, and most importantly, their products performing as well as or better than any major chemical products, will provide our customers with acclaimed value.”

4. PROVEN MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND

Biodegradability:

• It is the decomposition of organic substances into carbon dioxide, water and other harmless substances.

• Rapid biodegradation reduces impact on the environment and the food chain. Rapid biodegradation is the ratio of BOD over COD being 60% threshold in a 10 day window over a 28 day limit.

• All our organic cleaning ingredients are readily biodegradable per OECD (Organization of Economic Development) Test 301 D at use dilution under load and simulated real life conditions as tested by Ortech, a Canadian government certified lab and research company. In addition, the dosage levels are at least equal to stand products thereby lessening the total burden on the environment.

Toxicity:

It is defined a being a chemical which has an LD50 of 50 milligrams (mg) or less of chemical per kilogram (kg) of body weight. The greater of LD50, the less toxic the product. (50 mg/kg is equal to a dosage of approximately ¾ of a teaspoon for the average adult and 1/8 of a teaspoon for the average two-year-old child.) (Note: Salt=LD50 of 3000; Baking Soda = LD50 of 4220; Vinegar = LD50 of 3000.) Our core products are considered essentially non-toxic (acute oral/dermal) according to WHMIS and OSHA regulations, for all but government approved disinfectants.

Aquatic Toxicity:

Our core cleaning products exceed acute toxicity standards for fish, daphnia magna and algae at use dilutions, thereby minimizing the impact on fish, wildlife, drinking water and swimming locations. This is very important to humans as it has a direct effect since it is the beginning of the food chain and a major source for drinking water. Aquatic toxicity at use should be greater than 100 mg/L.


All tests:

Biodegradability, Toxicity and Aquatic Toxicity are conducted by independent labs.

Hazardous Ingredients:

Our products contain no carcinogens, mutagens, or teratogens. None of our cleaning products contain ingredients found on the US Department of Health’s “Hazardous Substances Fact Sheet,” SARA – 313-40 CFR 372 (Toxic Chemicals), Cercla – 102 – 40 CFR 302 (Hazardous Substances), RCRA – CFR 261 (Hazardous Air Pollutants), Clean Water Act – 313 –40 CFR 63 (Hazardous Water Pollutants), National Pollutant Release Inventory


Surfactants:

• The ones we use are carefully selected so as to have the least negative effect on the environment. We do not use NPE’s, APE’s, OPE’s, LAS (Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonates) or DSBA, common in many cleaners

• Many cleaners claim ready biodegradability based on ingredient based testing. The review of detergents (surfactants) in the inland waters identified the most common surfactants used LAS (Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonates) a being present in significant amounts even though LAS is readily biodegradable

• Many surfactants used in the common household and commercial cleaners are not normally tested for effluent discharge by municipal waste treatment plants even though they represent a significant percentage of surfactants entering waste treatment plants


Surfactants:

• In review of detergents (surfactants) in the inland waters the following conclusions were reached:

Environmental concentrations of surfactants in the inland waters around populated centers range between 0.005 mg/L and 2 mg/L

Surfactants can be toxic to aquatic life at concentrations as low as 0.025 mg/L

Surfactants have demonstrated effects on aquatic life at concentrations as low as 0.005 mg/L

Surfactants have demonstrated synergy with many chemical compounds and may interact with other more toxic pollutants to create mixtures of unknown toxicological properties

None of our cleaners use NPE’s, APE’s, OPE’s, LAS or DSBA. In general, we rely on chelating agents (such as sodium citrate) that do not encourage the purification of water


4. TO BE PROVEN MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND

BUILDERS:• Must be carefully selected to biodegrade readily to compounds with low environmental

concerns and mild pH

• For example:

Use - Sodium Citrate

- Silicates

- Zeolites

- Maleic Anhydride Derivatives (iminodisuccinate and polyaspartic acid)

Do Not Use - Inorganic phosphates

- Caustics (sodium metasilicate)

- NTA

- EDTA

- MEA

4. TO BE PROVEN MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND

SOLVENTS:

• Must be carefully selected to be low in toxicity to the environment and to humans

• For example:

Use - Propylene Glycol Ethers

- Methyl Soyate

- Ethyle Lactate

Do Not Use - Ethylene Glycol

- Butyl Cellusolve

- D’Limonene

Naturally Renewable Resources:

Whenever possible, only naturally-based, renewable ingredients – such as grains, corn oils, palm kernel oil, coconut oil, sugar cane juice, glucoses and corn and soy based ethyl esters replacing petroleum based solvents – are used in our products. Traditional formulas are typically based on petroleum and non-renewable resources that have definite negative impact both when they are being manufactured, and again when they are released back into our atmosphere. In addition, they have negative effects on health


Ozone Depleting Ingredients and Phosphates are not contained in any product!


Packaging:

• Subject to availability, our bottles and jugs are made from post- and pre-consumer regrind. Most labels are printed using vegetable inks or plastic, easy to remove sleeves. The cartons are made from recycled cardboard, both pre- and post- consumer

• Where possible, products are concentrated, thereby reducing chemicals and packaging, consequently waste, while reducing use costs for end-users and transportation costs for distributors


Endorsements:

• Eco-Logo/Environment Choice Program (Environment Canada) ECP - 57 for the core Cleaners – 14 products

• Green Seal (United States) – 5 products

No other company has such a wide variety of products Certified by the leading

Certification Bodies in North America.


December 20, 2002

Dell Tech Laboratories is a regulatory consulting firm that has been providing guidance to manufacturers and users of chemical products for over 22 years, with a focus on regulatory compliance, product safety and government registrations. Our services include product assessments, reviews and classification of products under the Hazardous Product Act, both for consumer and industrial workplace regulations. We are a Canadian General Standards Board certified testing laboratory under the requirements of ISO Guide 25. Our clients include small and medium size manufacturers in Canada and the United States as well as large multinational companies.

With greater environmental concerns in today's world, many different standards and criteria have been developed. Green Seal Inc. and the Environmental Choice Program have issued two of the more popular standards. We have compared the Green Seal Industrial and Institutional Cleaners standard GS-37 to the Environmental Choice Industrial and Commercial Cleaners standard ECP-57 below:

Category Green Seal GS-37 Environmental Choice ECP-57 Comments Scope/Product Categories General Purpose Cleaner, Bathroom

Cleaners (excluding toilet bowl disinfectants, sanitizers) Glass Cleaners (excluding sterilizers, disinfectants, sanitizers

Conclusion:

Our products have been independently proven to be more environmentally sound with respect to total burden/impact. We make a focused effort on ensuring our detergent residues that end up in the aquatic environment are minimized in quantity, toxicity and other harmful components and factors.

5. PROVEN SAFER FOR PEOPLE

An important requirement for product selections should be HEALTH and SAFETY

Products that are:

• Safer for the users• Safer for the workplace environment

Obligation to employees, customers, patrons and visitors Limit liability Reduce absenteeism caused by illness related to work Reduce costs related to accidents, workers safety and

compensation

People Are Safer Because:

• Our products contain no known or suspected Carcinogens (cancer forming) Mutagens (causes deformities) Teratogens (causes reproductive embryo deformities)

• None of our cleaning products contain ingredients on Regulatory Lists (SARA, CERCLA, CWA, NPRI) nor bleach

• No products contain ingredients that are on the US Department of Health Hazardous/Substance Fact Sheet



• No products cause serious skin irritation, respiratory problems or damage nasal membranes

• Our core products are extremely mild to the skin which reduces the incidence of contact dermatitis, often associated with traditional detergents

• All cleaning products are essentially non-toxic by WHMIS and OSHA standards. Toxicity can harm people by inhalation of the vapours, absorption through the skin, and through potential ingestion



• All core products at use dilution are considered: Non flammable Non corrosive

• Most products are not regulated by DOT/TDGA• No special storage requirements are necessary for most of our

products



• All products meet California standards for VOC levels• All products contain very low fragrance levels. We use a very effective

“Envirocide” odor eliminator that is non-toxic, biodegradable, non-flammable, or uses no chlorine, hydrogen peroxide or other corrosive or dangerous chemicals

• Disinfectants 64 & 256 are methicillin resistant (MRSA), hospital grade, effective against 32 bacteria including HIV and VRE, neutralize malodors, control mildew, and have neutral pHs


Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS):

• The full 16 – point format is utilized so that you can get all the

information you need to assess the health/safety/environment attributes. This includes:

Full disclosure on every ingredient in the formula. We do not just list the ingredients controlled by WHMIS and OSHA and/or being greater than 1% of the product

The individual ingredients, as well as total formula, LD50 information so you know complete toxicological information

Ecological information• Biodegradability• Aquatic toxicity

Complete environmental regulatory information

• Compare what you find on our MSDS with the major competitors and you will see why we are leaders in this segment

ENVIRO-SOLUTIONS?3. EXEMPLARY SUPPORT:

4. Different than Other ‘Green’ Manufacturers/Products:

• Proven Solutions – We have many, very large customers that have been using the products for 6 to 10 years. If the products did not work well, were not priced competitively, or were in fact not safer, would they remain customers?

• All We Do – We only manufacture safer, ‘green’ products. Unlike others, we do not offer a few ‘TOKEN’ products.

• All our products are safer than their traditional counterparts in all categories…and we can prove it

• We Know This Market – We know this market and can help you successfully sell against your ‘green’ and ‘non-green’ competitors!

5. NEED FOR A STAND-ALONE LINE:

• Larger name brand companies cannot be all encompassing or cannot be revolutionary with respect to environmentally sound and health/safety products. They have to rely on “product enhancements”. They have too much invested in their traditional products and formulas to risk sales and liability claims
