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.”

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.
4.
PROVEN MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND
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.
4.
PROVEN MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND
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
4.
PROVEN MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND
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
4.
PROVEN MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND
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

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

PROVEN MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND
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

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

7. FOR DISTRIBUTORS » WHY DISTRIBUTE
ENVIRO-SOLUTIONS?
• Many organizations, public and private, and usually large, are actively seeking
out/being receptive to products that can demonstrate that they are superior in
terms of:
 Health/Safety
 Environment
 Performance
Enviro-Solutions will meet these demands better than anyone else!
• Enviro-Solution is not a niche product line. While being truly different than
conventional products, Enviro-Solutions offers a complete line of cleaning
products.
7. FOR DISTRIBUTORS » WHY DISTRIBUTE
ENVIRO-SOLUTIONS?
• With Enviro-Solutions, you can offer a truly different alternative rather than two
to three lines of similar products. Therefore, we can help eliminate duplicating
SKU’s of your main product line. Enviro-Solutions products are supplements, not
duplicates, to your main line
• Enviro-Solutions goal is to enhance, not cannibalize, your current business
• Flexibility to Serve You
 We are LARGE
• Enough to provide the necessary support, resources and services

meet your needs
• With Enviro-Solution, you can make a positive contribution to the environment
and to people. In addition, the contribution will benefit future generations
7. FOR DISTRIBUTORS » WHY DISTRIBUTE
ENVIRO-SOLUTIONS?
We expect to build business for you:
NEW ACCOUNTS:
• Where your existing chemicals were not successful. With the Enviro-Solutions
environmental and health & safety message, you can offer these accounts a
motivation to look at your proposal, especially if they are satisfied with their
existing product performance
• In other cases, we can be your lead items for those certain targets demanding it
all and wanting proof of claims: performance, price, safety, environment,
support, full product offering, etc.
7. FOR DISTRIBUTORS » WHY DISTRIBUTE
ENVIRO-SOLUTIONS?
CURRENT CUSTOMERS:
• Whose needs change do to a safety, allergy, accident or environmental issue and
you don’t want to lose the customer to a more environmentally correct
competitor or to one with unsubstantiated environmental and health claims
• You only have a portion of the chemical business and you haven’t been able to or
aren’t going to get it with your existing chemical product line
7. FOR DISTRIBUTORS » WHY DISTRIBUTE
ENVIRO-SOLUTIONS?
TARGETS:
• University, Colleges, School Boards, Private School, Nurseries, Day Care Centers,
etc
• Cities, Towns, Villages, etc
• Federal/State/Provincial Government Bodies, Agencies, etc (For example:Ministry
of the Environment, Ministry of Natural Resources, etc)
• Large Companies/Unionized Companies (especially high profile ones)
• Hospitals, Nursing Homes, etc
• Clean Rooms, Computer/Software Rooms

RECAP » WHY DISTRIBUTE
ENVIRO-SOLUTIONS?
1. THE ECONOMIC VALUE:
• Increase sales of chemicals. Meet a real growing local demand for
sustainable cleaning products
• Increase new customers and your local market share for cleaning
chemicals and products
• Greater retention of existing customers. Increase the value added to your
customers
• Increase gross profit
7.
RECAP » WHY DISTRIBUTE
ENVIRO-SOLUTIONS?
2. THE DIFFERENTIATING VALUE:
• Increase ability to differentiate from the competition. More clearly
demonstrate to your customers, prospects and community, your genuine
concern and commitment to sustainable products that are proven safer
for people and the environment. Improve your corporate image. Help
protect your reputation
• A product offering that supplements and compliments and does not
duplicate
• If properly positioned, no options can compare
7.
RECAP » WHY DISTRIBUTE
ENVIRO-SOLUTIONS?
3. EXEMPLARY SUPPORT:
• Large enough to provide
• Small enough to customize
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!
7.
RECAP » WHY DISTRIBUTE
ENVIRO-SOLUTIONS?
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
PROVEN …
… Solutions
… Competitive in Performance & Price
… More Environmentally Sound
… Safer for People
