Chemical Free & Non Toxic Cleaners in Biodegradable Bottles

Montclair, NJ, December 28, 2008 --(PR.com)-- It comes as no surprise, and is hardly new news, that the plastic pollution problem throughout the world, more specifically the oceans, is an increasing dilemma, if not borderline madness. The literally millions of small, medium and large plastic containers disposed of are not just toxic to the environment and eco-systems, but making their way right back to people's food supply and dinner tables. Meaning, for example, plastics in the oceans that are ingested by sea-life will inevitably make their way back to various mainlands as the fishing industry delivers its catch to canaries, food distributors, food manufacturers, etc. Do people really want these borderline lethal toxins from plastic in their teriyaki salmon?

In the land of plenty – or lands of plenty, most of society is surely caught up in its daily activities and don’t see what the oceans and landfills are really like. Well, in short, it’s an absolute disaster and without a major turn and the ability to take the correct steps in rectifying this issue, statistically it will only get worse.

Conversely, there are organizations and people that are completely cognizant of this issue, and are in fact doing what they can via methods of recycling or purchasing products with alternative packaging.

Many people know Universal Botanicals as being a ‘Green’, eco-friendly Company with completely non-toxic and chemical free Green Cleaners, as well as having the only EPA Registered Botanical Disinfectant. However, that was just the company's first step in making a line of truly Green and environmentally-conscious cleaning products.

The timing couldn’t have been any more perfect for Universal Botanicals coming in contact with a very unique company in Canada called EPI Environmental Technologies. Distributed by Oxo-Pac, Inc. in Illinois, EPI has now made available a completely biodegradable bottle which Universal Botanicals has incorporated into its line of Green Cleaners. The technology is called TDPA (Totally Degradable Plastic Additive). When disposed of properly, it’s designed to degrade over a five year period, ultimately biodegrading into Carbon Dioxide, Water and Biomass. The technology of TDPA allows for no harmful residues to be left behind.

In short, Universal Botanicals now features its Multi-Purpose, Glass & Window and Bathroom & Tile Cleaners in Biodegradable Bottles. Taking this initiative was simply another step in Universal Botanicals’ commitment to bring eco-friendly, chemical free and sustainable products to the marketplace. In conjunction with EPI’s Biodegradable technology, Universal Botanicals is now the first company to make available a line of Botanical and Chemical Free Cleaners that are truly Green.
