So I talked alot about the eco-logo requirements for products. Here are some of them:
"The EcoLogo Program addresses these challenges by establishing strict requirements for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), biodegradability and aquatic toxicity. The net environmental benefit will be reduced human health impacts, less potential for smog formation, and reduced toxicity in aquatic media." (LINK)
FOR EXAMPLE:
To be authorized to carry the EcoLogo, paint and varnish removers must:
- * Be effective and safe to use;
- * Be accompanied by detailed instructions for use and disposal;
- * Contain less than 250 mg/l VOCs;
- * Be biodegradable; and
- * Have low aquatic toxicity (LC50 or EC50 no greater than 100 mg/l for fish, algae and microorganisms).
Examples of certified products:
And these are just handy and cool for people in the woodz:
look what they can do!
