I noticed that One Earth line of products does not carry the Green Seal certificate any more.
When it was Chemspec DFC- 105 it did.

  1. Is the decision just financial (the certificate is expensive)?
  2. Is it due to change in chemistry?
  3. Just not worth it for you, due to making no difference in demand?

Good Morning Ofer,
To answer you questions about Green Seal we moved over to Eco-Logo due to the fact that they are part of UL which is accepted worldwide.
The cost was not an issue as it is about the same for Eco-Logo
The chemistry is the same it remains unchanged just renamed

The testing protocol is the same as Green Seal so we had no reason to carry multiple certifications for the line

Ofer;

We are moving from certifications to the new standard for "green".

That standard is "Biorenewable" raw materials.

That means that the raw materials can be renewed continuously.

Growing from a plant or tree is the method usually used.

That is what we are using in our new Dynachem CitraGreen Prespray.

What we like is that we have found a "Biorenewable" surfactant that outperforms petroleum-based surfactants on several tough soils.

We did some testing on the carpets that had been cleaned many times at Experience and saw a noticable improvement in brightness.

Mikey got a sample at the show, but it was not a great volume.

Other customers here in Dallas have obtained impressive results in their testing.

I'm going to shoot a video of cleaning this white nylon carpet Monday at the shop.

Thanks Larry,
I thought that the bio-renewable (very important) was just part of the total.
Which includes toxicity (known), and what it does (or known to do) to the environment.
