What Makes Ecohome Safe & Eco-friendly?
Readily Biodegradable Cleaning Agents
Each Ecohome product has been extensively tested by the Standards and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM) using international biodegradability testing procedures (OECD 301A and OECD 301D).
Ecohome products are certified with the Eco-Label Mark by SIRIM QAS International Sdn. Bhd. ensuring that all cleaning agents are readily biodegradable.
No Harmful Ingredients
Ecohome does NOT contain the following ingredients:
| Phosphates & nitrates: | that cause algae bloom in waterways that leads to lack of oxygen for aquatic life |
| Optical brighteners: | that do not readily biodegrade, toxic to aquatic life |
| Nonylphenol: | that is slow to biodegrade and causes reproductive defects in aquatic life |
| Formaldehyde: | which is a carcinogenic, respiratory irritant |
| Chlorine: | that is harsh on skin & surfaces, toxic to the environment, and may cause reproductive, endocrine & immune system disorders |
| Solvents: | that are neurotoxins and nervous system depressants |
| Zeolites: | which are are non-biodegradable |
Ecohome’s ingredients are non-irritating and safe to use on human skin.
Colourant-free
Ecohome contains no colourants, making it even safer. The colours you see are a natural result of combining ingredients. Please note that these colours may change naturally over time, but product efficacy remains unaffected.
Eco-friendly Fragrances
Ecohome’s fragrances are eco-friendly and non-toxic. Each fragrance was specially designed by experienced perfumers to meet the European Union Eco-Label Safety Standards.
Recyclable Packaging
Ecohome packaging materials are easily recyclable and the small concentrated sizes use less resources to recycle.
Less Foam
All Ecohome products are low- to moderate-foaming. The higher a product foams, the more water is required for rinsing. With less foam, Ecohome reduces rinse time and helps conserve one of our most precious resources – water.
Ultra-concentrated
Ecohome products are highly concentrated, thus requiring less per application. This means less waste is discharged into the environment.
