ISSA/INTERCLEAN exhibitor profile — Eco Concepts Inc. Booth 1771 Getting Down to Business W Who we are: The industry bench-mark for safer and superior clean-ing products with more credible “green” product partnerships, certi-fications and registrations than any other company worldwide. In North America, the Green Concepts brand of products car-ries endorsements from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Design for the Environment (DfE), Green Seal Inc., EcoLogo, the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) and the Orthodox Union for Kosher approval. The Eco mission: To deliver effective, new and innovative, envi-ronmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-caustic and humanly safer cleaning products at a cost-effec-tive price. Eco Concepts products are pro-prietary and carry patents world-wide. The company is constantly work-ing to improve product and dispensing capabilities to meet ever-changing indus-try demands. The Eco standard: The Eco Safer and Superior New Product Standard is meant to ensure that users do not need to lose in performance and cost when switching to environmentally preferable and humanly safer products. There is a reality that there is a need to clean and a job to be done. In many cases, the soils are very difficult to remove and there is a misperception that a toxic product is necessary; this is not true. With good chemistry, a truly safer and more environmentally friendly alternative does exist. Series 100 Series What to look for with product sourc-ing: We should all be looking a bit deeper than cost, green, performance and other simple buzzwords. What is the true “in use” cost? Does the product carry credible envi-ronmentally friendly accreditations or is it self-certified? Does the product perform well without harming the surface and/or person doing the cleaning, and can it be used for many jobs or only one? There are many factors that dictate the true “impact” of a decision to use this or that cleaning product. Taking and considering all of the factors collectively in light of the overall “carbon footprint impact” should be the standard employed by regulators, formu-lators, facility management and users in general. Eco’s answer: Innovation. With innovation and good plan-ning, you can save resources and avoid more of the same struggles and challenges. This can best be demonstrated in looking at Eco Concepts’ newly launched, patent-pending and super-concentrated 300 Series Program. The 300 Series Program has all of the benefits of traditionally packaged Green Concepts brand products, with the additional ben-efit of being up to 10 times more concentrated. This distinction results in a reduction of energy consumption and solid waste. 300 The 300 Series Program comes with a portable and user-friendly dispensing system that does not require a physical hookup to the building’s water supply. This eliminates back flow and cross con-nection issues that often steal thousands of dollars of hot water from facilities. Furthermore, the dispensing system is easy to store, easy to use and easy to transport. The best evidence of the success of the 300 Series Program stems from countless successes across the institutional, indus-trial and commercial markets. Eco Concepts products: Honoring the environment, personal health and wellness and the natural ecological bal-ance.
