Is SpectraSan 24 considered a “Green” product?
It is our understanding that the EPA is in the process of creating a protocol or guidelines to measure the “Green” characteristics of registered disinfectants. However, as of the day this was written the EPA has not developed a protocol to measure the environmental safety, or so called “Green” qualities, of EPA-registered products. Companies who claim that their disinfectant has been certified “Green” by the EPA are providing false or misleading statements. By the same token, SpectraSan 24 is manufactured from silver ions and citric acid, both of which occur naturally in the environment. In addition, 99.967% (by weight) is composed of renewable raw materials (water and citric acid) and our manufacturing process produces zero discharge with no waste or byproducts. SpectraSan 24 has been assigned the lowest toxicity rating (Level IV) by the EPA. If water was rated, it would be assigned the same Level IV rating.
