Consumer, institutional and industrial products in high demand that can be manufactured or finished locally.
One such group of products is household and industrial cleaning products.
Once chemical ingredients are sourced, the blending, bottling and distribution of cleaning products is a very simple process, requiring low, relatively inexpensive technology that is easily maintained with local skills and resources.
As such, it's a perfect local business. And, did you know that well over 90% of most ready-to-use cleaning products is water! Yet another reason to blend cleaning chemicals with water locally versus incur the environmental (gas/carbon footprint) and financial cost of importing and transporting largely water.
Speaking of chemicals, traditional cleaners are made with petroleum-based surfactants, chlorine, ammonia and other toxic chemicals that are dangerous to handle -- especially in concentrated form. OptionsforLife cleaning chemicals and product formulas are non-toxic as independently certified by the leading green product scientific certification company, Green Seal -- making optionsforlife products safe to handle and safe to use.
