The Power of Eucalyptus Oil

Our beloved Eucalyptus is an unmistakable Australian icon, and one of this country’s best-known exports. The gumtree is easily recognisable as the home of the Koala and the subject of much Australian folklore. Yet despite its mythological status in Australia, surprisingly few people appreciate the the true power and wide-ranging applications of Eucalyptus. Inside the leaves of these majestic trees lies one of the most potent natural agents found anywhere in the world.

Over the years, Eucalyptus Oil has proven effective in cleaning products, disinfectants and sanitisers – not to mention a wide range of natural medicinal applications. Eucalyptus oil is a perfect example of the natural power that we utilise in our products at Envirosafe Solutions.

Eucalyptus Oil is a natural biocide and antibacterial ingredient.[1] Eucalyptus-based soaps, handwashes, sanitisers and dental care products have gained enormous popularity in recent times, as people increasingly recognise the numerous benefits and lack of harmful side-effects. Natural disinfectant solutions like Eucalyptus mitigate the need to use alcohol or toxic chemical-based products in the workplace.

Eucalytptus Oil is also a known pesticide and insect repellent.[2] A Eucalyptus-based cleaning product will keep your workplace or commercial kitchen clean and healthy, while deterring the creepy crawlies at the same time.

The essential oil of the Eucalyptus leaf is a powerful antibacterial agent, both outside and inside the human body. Most people will be familiar with Eucalyptus cough drops and vapour solutions. Eucalyptus Oil is a common treatment for colds and is known to attack bacteria in the respiratory system.[3] The amazing health potential of Eucalyptus oil has long been recognised in the field of aromatherapy.

This is really an incredible multi-purpose tool, and it grows right in our own backyards. At Envirosafe Solutions we use Eucalyptus Oil in our products to dazzling effect. We believe that we can harness the power of nature to deliver the results that Australian businesses need. And luckily, we’re in a  pretty good place for it. There’s no better place on Earth to take advantage of Eucalyptus Oil’s extraordinary cleaning properties.

This great brown land of ours is abundant in natural goodness, so why not use it? We’re constantly exploring new possibilities with Eucalyptus Oil and other organic cleaning agents, in the firm belief that green products are the future for Australian industry.

Is a Cleaner Just a Cleaner?

Ever feel like you have to rummage through twenty different bottles in your cupboard just to find the cleaner you’re looking for? There’s the bathroom cleaner, the toilet spray, the degreaser, the spray and wipe, the floor cleaner and who knows what else. Ugly plastic bottles that lurk in your cupboard gathering cobwebs for years on end. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could consolidate all these products into one simple, all-purpose cleaner?

Well, now you can. Heavy Duty Alkaline Cleaner/Degreaser is the ultimate all-in-one. Throw out all those countless old bottles of harsh chemicals, because Heavy Duty Alkaline Cleaner/Degreaser does it all. It’s effective on motors, greasy floors, machinery, outdoor pavement, bathroom and kitchen surfaces – you name it! Why hoard a small army of specific cleaning products when one cleaner can do all of their jobs?

And that’s not even the best part. Heavy Duty Alkaline Cleaner/Degreaser has none of the harmful ingredients of ordinary cleaning products.

Go to your cleaning cupboard and read the labels on all of those bottles – there’s a lot of nasty stuff in there, and the simple truth is that it’s nasty stuff you don’t need.

We’ve created Heavy Duty Alkaline Cleaner/Degreaser as a safe and healthy alternative that’s just as powerful as other cleaners on the market. It’s nothing short of a miracle that a cleaning agent this effective can be so gentle at the same time. Heavy Duty Alkaline Cleaner/Degreaser is an alkaline solution, free of acids and petro-solvents. Using it won’t give you a headache or make you sick, and disposing of it won’t pollute our water and land.

Extreme Green Laundry Powder

Few people who’ve lived in urban areas their whole lives would appreciate the domestic difficulties faced by remote Australians. For city-dwellers, doing the laundry is a simple matter of loading the machine and pressing the button. They don’t have to think about the effects of hard water on the clothes, or mineral and calcium levels interfering with the laundry detergent.

But these are genuine concerns for people living off the water grid. Envirosafe Solutions has formulated a new laundry liquid that’s designed specifically for remote area use in the mining camps of the Northwest. This formulation was created after requests from miners in the camps – they were experiencing rashes and itchiness from the chemicals the products they were using contained. Furthermore they did not get a clean wash because the same chemicals could not handle hard water washing. Heavy mineralisation in remote areas can severely hinder the ability of ordinary laundry powers to get your clothes properly clean. With Extreme Green Laundry Powder we’ve boosted the level of optical brighteners and grease-eating surfactants, resulting in a product with cleaning power second to none. This is the tough laundry liquid for tough Australian conditions.

At the same time, Extreme Green Laundry Powder has been delicately engineered to work in harmony with your sewage treatment plant, biomass or septic system. Say goodbye to clogged sullage ponds and slow treatment plant response. These problems are often caused by phosphate-rich laundry liquids, and can slow down your waste treatment system enormously. We know how serious this problem can be, and have designed Extreme Green Laundry Powder to ensure this will never be an issue.

To achieve this, we’ve massively reduced the phosphate levels in this product. Phosphates feed the algae and bacteria that clog your system, so a smart laundry liquid for remote areas needs to get the job done without relying on such chemicals. Envirosafe Solutions has re-invented the whole process, replacing phosphates with environmentally-friendly boosters that work with your sewage system, not against it. You no longer need to trade off effective laundry washing against waste management. Now you can have both.

Extreme Green Laundry Powder is gentle on your land, and gentle on your body too. A lot of harsh laundry liquids can leave residue on the clothing which leads to irritation and skin rashes, but this isn’t something you need to worry about with Extreme Green Laundry Powder. The all-natural ingredients in this product will treat your skin as gently as they treat your clothes. The only thing Extreme Green Laundry Powder will damage is dirt – and that’s our guarantee.

Envirosafe Solutions is working hard for remote Australia. You deserve all the same conveniences and options as the city folk, and we provide the products to make this possible. For more information on the Envirosafe range of laundry liquids, please contact us on 1300 88 90 70.

Simple Tips For Reducing Power Consumption at Work

With all the green innovations that have sprung up in recent years, it’s easy to forget that you can reduce your power consumption and environmental footprint without spending big money on new technology. There are simple steps any business can take, which will produce tangible cuts in electricity use without costing a cent.

At Envirosafe Solutions we believe passionately in reducing environmental impact wherever possible. We follow green practices in our own business operations, and we encourage all of our clients to do the same. We’ve put together a list of five simple, effective tips for reducing your power consumption and minimising the environmental impact of your business.

1. Unplug your idle machines

This goes for televisions, fax machines, projectors, coffee makers and anything else that guzzles electricity around your workplace. The idle power consumption of these devices can accumulate into significant amounts of electricity over the months. Unplug idle machines to ensure that you only pay for electricity you’re actually using.

2. Change the power settings on your computers

Unless your business is graphic design, web development or something similar, you can probably afford to sacrifice a bit of performance in your computers. By changing the power settings on your machines, you can trade nonessential functions for reduced electricity usage.

3. Use LCD monitors (and turn them off)

A monitor uses the majority of a computer’s electricity, and the old box-shaped ones are very inefficient. Switching to modern LCD monitors will save a lot of power, as will turning them off whenever they are not in use.

4. Abandon paper

Computer printers guzzle not only electricity but paper too. In the modern day and age it’s rarely necessary to print documents in hard copy. Make your office a paperless one and you’ll save money on both stationery and electricity.

5. Embrace nature

Arrange your office or place of business to fully exploit natural light and air. Don’t sit in the middle of the room when you could sit by the window. Sometimes simply reorganising your furniture can drastically reduce your dependence on artificial lighting, heating and air-conditioning.

Follow these simple pieces of advice and you’ll quickly see your power consumption drop. Using less electricity is good for the planet and good for your bottom line.

Another important step your business can take is switching to environmentally-friendly industrial liquids. Envirosafe Solutions is an industry leader in providing safe, green and highly effective products to Australian businesses. By saving power and using green industrial products, your business will remain sustainable and profitable into the future.

And odour control is only half the equation. This product works wonders as a general cleaner too.

This Extreme Green product will leave your surfaces crystal clear, with a light and refreshing fragrance.

Heavy Duty Cleaner/Deodoriser is guaranteed to keep your drains clear and free-flowing. On a remote site, this is of utmost importance. Blocked up pipes can shut down your whole water system and plunge your site into chaos. Heavy Duty Cleaner/Deodoriser eats through organic matter in your pipes, nipping blockages in the bud and allowing maximum water flow at all times.

And there’s more. We’ve designed Heavy Duty Cleaner/Deodoriser to be completely safe for animals, meaning it’s the ideal product to control odours in livestock sheds. This products is highly effective at reducing ammonia levels, meaning your animals will be more comfortable and their risk of lung diseases is vastly reduced.

Heavy Duty Cleaner/Deodoriser is a perfect example of the Envirosafe philosophy that less is more.

Earth Hour an important message for Australian industry

Earth Hour was recently observed around the world, and 2011 has proven to be a record-breaking year for the annual event. An Australian-born concept, the energy-saving philosophy of Earth Hour has been enthusiastically welcomed by nations worldwide. The organisers of the event have claimed a resounding success for this year, and optimism that Earth Hour will continue to grow into the future.

This year a reported 134 countries took part in Earth Hour, where businesses and individuals are asked to turn off all lights and electrical appliances for one hour. The event is intended to demonstrate solidarity and an international spirit of cooperation for the good of the environment.

While Earth Hour is a symbolic exercise, rather than a concrete step toward reducing greenhouse emissions, at Envirosafe Solutions we believe there is a very powerful message to be heard from this event’s success. There is an overwhelming enthusiasm, both in Australia and around the world, for environmental action and a sustainable way of life.

Business that embraces the Australian people’s vision of a green future will be business that succeeds in the years to come. That’s our philosophy at Envirosafe Solutions, and we provide the industrial products to make this goal a reality. For information on how we can help your business become more sustainable and environmentally-responsible, please contact us on 1300 88 90 70.

Foodscraps for thought on industrial waste management

Whether it’s using food scraps to power a jet aircraft or old pipes to make modern furniture, innovative recycling initiatives are becoming an integral part of industrial waste management.  Forward-thinking solutions are being employed across the globe as the demands of industry grow, consuming mountains of resources while leaving a heavy trail of rubbish behind. Effective waste management includes making the switch to eco-friendly industrial liquid products from environmental cleaning companies such as Perth-based Envirosafe Solutions. Today we look at waste management strategies crucial to sustainable industry.

Australian airline Qantas has landed a deal to create bio jet fuel for its fleet by recycling food scraps and industrial waste. The airline announced the joint venture with US biofuel producer Solena in early 2011.

The plant, earmarked for Sydney, will produce fuel from waste materials including food scraps, green cuttings, industrial and agricultural waste. It follows a similar project by British Airways in London. The British venture has a proposed 2014 completion date, and will convert up to 500,000 tonnes of waste into 73 million litres of biofuel a year.

Such initiatives have been welcomed by Government and environmental groups which have been working to address the management of industrial waste – a major component of the waste stream.

Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has developed guidelines for industry to minimise the total waste produced and also the toxicity levels of waste. These include:

  • Choose products that produce less waste
  • Reduce reliance on hazardous materials
  • Use technology to reduce the reliance on chemicals, products
  • Take a careful product inventory to prevent surplus stock

Giving used products a new life

Recycling can involve returning waste material to its original state, such as recycling paper to make more paper, or using waste to create new products, such as bio jet fuel from green clippings, or on-selling waste materials. There has been no end to the creative solutions industry has found for its waste products, such as producing colouring pencils from plastic vending cups.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Australians generated 32.4 million tonnes of solid waste in 2002-03, of which 27% was from municipal sources including household waste, 29% from commercial and industrial sectors and 42% from construction and demolition industries.

Cleaning up production

EPA guidelines strongly promote using ‘clean production’, a term coined by the United Nations Environment Program more than two decades. It refers to the “continuous applications of an integrated preventative environmental strategy applied to processes, products, and services to increase overall efficiency and reduce risks to humans and the environment”. Put simply, it is far simpler to use an eco-friendly industrial liquid in the first place than to try to clean up landfill or wastewater contaminated by chemical pollutants.

Envirosafe Solutions range of environmental cleaning products include insect and tar remover, solvent-free degreaser, porta-loo treatment, glass cleaner, rubber remover, rust converter and rust remover. Their comprehensive range has been designed from primarily natural ingredients with a low toxicity rating. Switching to less toxic products allows industry to reduce its environmental footprint and join the ‘green revolution’.

The use of eco-friendly liquid products form part of an effective waste management strategy for any business. Envirosafe Solutions provide eco-friendly liquid products for a comprehensive range of industrial applications. For more information phone 1300 88 90 70 or email info@evss.com.au.

CSIRO steps up toxic chemical monitoring

The fall-out from the widespread use of the now-banned chemical DDT was pivotal to turning the world’s attention to the inherent dangers of toxins in industrial and agricultural applications. The CSIRO has recently renewed its efforts to monitor the long-term environmental costs of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), which include the notorious DDT. Today we look at the need for environmentally friendly liquids and the emergence of a new breed of industrial cleaning solutions such as those offered by Perth-based Envirosafe Solutions.

Toxic chemicals have left an indelible mark on the environment prompting a global push toward the use of safe, sustainable and biodegradable products.

The worst offenders have been common products containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), such as the wide-spread use of DDT as an effective pesticide in the first half of last century. Initially considered safe, concerns were raised after it was discovered prolonged use caused it to build up in the fatty tissue of mammals, including humans. More than twenty years after it was banned in Australia wildlife such as the Peregrine Falcon are still rehabilitating.

CSIRO monitors POPs effects

In March 2011 the CSIRO upped efforts to monitor the widespread environmental and health effects of POPs to quantify the success of the 2004 Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. The convention, which was ratified by 172 countries including Australia, outlines protocols to reduce and eliminate emissions from POPs and their by-products. It requires:

  • Control measures on 12 POPs including industrial chemicals polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), hexachlorobenzene and by-products dioxins and furans.
  • Approval assessment for new and existing chemicals to consider effects of  bioaccumulation, potential for long-range environmental transport and potential for adverse effects on human health and the environment.

CSIRO scientist Dr Melita Keywood said these pollutants were non-biodegradable, dispersed widely from the original source and accumulated in human and animal fatty tissue. “Some POPs can be transported through atmospheric dispersion to other regions and continents, thousands of kilometres from where they were originally used.” Data will be collected from atmospheric monitoring stations at sites in Tasmania, Melbourne and Darwin.

Data crucial to safer future

Environmental damage from common chemical applications needed to be monitored and minimised, according to Envirosafe Solutions. It supplies eco friendly liquid products to businesses within the automotive, mining, hospitality and corporate sectors as well as schools, hospitals and government enterprises. Director Murray Simon said toxic chemicals were not only hazardous but unnecessary. “Our products are primarily based on natural ingredients and they offer powerful results. Chemical usage carries hidden costs in terms of damage to the environment, health and the storage and transportation of dangerous goods.”

A better solution

Envirosafe Solutions’ range of cleaners include solvent-free degreaser, sanitiser/mould rid, porta-loo treatment, radiator cleaner, glass cleaner, diesel bug killer, rubber remover, multi-purpose lubricant and fuel conditioner. These  environmental cleaning products offer a highly-effective yet sustainable solution.

The earth cannot afford a repeat of the 1950s DDT spraying disaster and efforts to monitor long-term POPs effects highlight the value of environmental cleaning products. Envirosafe Solutions provide eco-friendly liquid products for a comprehensive range of industrial applications. For more information phone 1300 88 90 70 or email info@evss.com.au.

Stern warning for Australia’s uranium sector

As the fallout from Japan’s nuclear disaster continues, uncertainty reigns over the future of uranium mining in Australia. While the major uranium miners in this country eye the prospect of expanding their operations, a word of caution has been handed down from inside their own industry.

Last month the annual Paydirt Uranium Conference convened in Adelaide. Addressing the guests was Mr Mark Chalmers, chairman of the Uranium Advisory Council and a widely-respected uranium mining expert.

Mr. Chalmers declared at the conference that “second chances” were very difficult to achieve in the uranium sector. It was of utmost importance for mining companies to “get in right the first time”.

According to Mr. Chalmers, “no element can polarise the population or political system more than being confronted with, and having to manage, some failure in the domestic uranium or nuclear sector”.

The general theme of Mr. Chalmers’ speech was that Australia’s uranium miners must tread more carefully than ever before. As demonstrated by the events in Japan, a nuclear accident can badly damage the credibility of uranium mining, and Australian miners must act with extreme caution to maintain public faith.

These words of warning come as mining companies face intense scrutiny from anti-nuclear groups. It is suspected that Australian uranium was being processed in Japan’s Fukushima reactor during the earthquake disaster, and anti-nuclear campaigners have seized on this with renewed calls to end uranium mining in Australia.

The ultimate fate of Australia’s uranium sector remains unclear. Whatever direction the industry takes, there is a new post-Japan reality for uranium mining. Uranium companies are now under the spotlight more than ever before, and must be prepared for new levels of public accountability.

Formaldehyde – Nasty Stuff!

The name ‘Formaldehyde’ has a bit of a nasty ring to it these days, and not without good reason. Even very limited exposure to the stuff can induce severe irritation of the throat, nose and eyes. Those unlucky enough to suffer long term Formaldehyde exposure can develop respiratory illnesses and eventually lung cancer.[i] The dangers of Formaldehyde are well-known, and around the world its sale and use is being increasingly restricted and regulated.

The reason that Formaldehyde exposure is such a serious issue is that we use the stuff in enormous quantities. You could describe Formaldehyde as a “building-block” chemical. It’s the precursor to innumerable other more advanced chemical compounds, and utilised in a vast array of industrial applications. In fact, we wouldn’t have made it very far without the assistance of Formaldehyde – it’s allowed us to create materials for the textile industry, automobile manufacture, tissue embalming, industrial adhesives, insulation, paint, explosives and a whole lot more.

Formaldehyde is also a potent biocide, capable of killing most bacteria and fungi. Because of this, Formaldehyde has been a major ingredient in disinfectants, including hand wash solutions, detergents and even toilet treatments. For all the convenience of using a powerful biocide like Formaldehyde, this is thought to a key contributing factor to some negative health effects. Skin absorption through contact with a Formaldehyde solution is one of the leading causes of harmful exposure.[ii]

In modern times this is one of the most dangerous and unnecessary uses of Formaldehyde. Today we are aware of numerous other non-harmful biocides  that perform the same disinfectant functions without the health hazards. One such safe biocide is Benzalkonium Chloride…..

Envirosafe Solutions is constantly researching alternative biocides and do not use Formaldehyde in any of their products.

Studies have concluded that benzalkonium chloride-based hand sanitisers perform just as well as traditional competing products. [iii]

So if you want a safe, healthy alternative then call Envirosafe Solutions today and enquire about there Extreme Green range of products. Their number is 1300 88 90 70

“Going green” now recognised as a productivity booster

For much of the recent past, corporate and business leaders have viewed “going green” as more of a public relations exercise than anything else. Switching to green business practices is often thought of as a cumbersome and expensive exercise, the main benefit of which is improved public perception of a company.

Without believing in the real value of green practices, many businesses have been hesitant to adopt changes. Failure to recognise and understand the intrinsic benefits of going green has been a huge obstruction to environmental progress.

Luckily, however, things appear to be changing. In March this year CoreNet Global and Jones Lang LaSalle released a new survey on sustainability in corporate real estate. Numerous interviews with corporate real estate executives (those in charge of buying office space) revealed that sustainability and green credentials are now a major consideration in choosing where to locate staff.

A vast majority of executives indicated that they were willing to pay more for space in “green offices”. This is because healthy and sustainable office space is known to increase employee productivity and satisfaction. Disregarding any external pressure to adopt green policies, companies are now realising that sustainability is better for their own bottom line.

This latest survey is evidence that “going green” is a powerful investment in the future of your business. Not simply for external reasons such as image and customer relations, but for the fundamental strength and innovation of your company. Healthy employees are productive employees, so providing a green and safe workplace is an investment that pays for itself.

Envirosafe Solutions can help you achieve this goal. For information on our range of green industrial products, please contact us on 1300 88 90 70.

The menace of graffiti and how to remove it.

Graffiti is a menace that plagues too many communities in Australia. Most business owners will be familiar with that sinking feeling:  you arrive to work on Monday morning to discover your office or shopfront covered in spray-painted obscenities or ‘Tags’. Nothing drives customers away like an unsightly mess splattered across your place of business.

This unfortunate situation needs to be dealt with quickly and effectively. You simply can’t afford to leave graffiti unattended in the public view. Understandably, there’s a huge market for graffiti removal products. Cleaning up graffiti can be a precarious business, however. Many traditional removal products are loaded with toxic chemicals and harsh acids. Sure, they’ll get rid of the graffiti, but these products pose a serious health risk the operator and the soils that they drain into.

What’s more, corrosive substances can often remove more than the spray paint, causing damage to the treated surfaces that ends up looking even worse than the graffiti did! Many people simply can’t be bothered with the hassle, and pay top dollar for a professional graffiti removal service. But why shell out all that cash, and risk damaging your health and property, when you can get the job done yourself in a safe and economical manner?

Extreme Green Graffiti Remover (formerly Exit Tag) is a powerful and versatile DIY graffiti remover that the professionals use, effective against the whole arsenal of vandalism tools: spray paint, permanent marker, ink, crayon, liquid paper . . . the list goes on. Graffiti artists are forever thinking up new areas and surfaces to desecrate, but fear not, because Extreme Green Graffiti Remover (formerly Exit Tag) works on them all. The product can be used on brick, wood, glass, metal, perspex, masonry and just about anywhere else the little devils aim their cans at.

Extreme Green Graffiti Remover  is a rapid acting solution. There’ll be no standing around waiting for results – this product works in under three minutes. It’s a simple matter of applying the undiluted solution, watching the graffiti disappear, and then rinsing it all off with a high pressure hose. Because Extreme Green Graffiti Remover contains only nonhazardous solvents, there’s no need for a full body suit of protective clothing that you see some graffiti removalists wearing. It’s a user-friendly product that gets the job done with minimal hassle and mess.

Don’t tolerate that hideous graffiti at your workplace, or pay through the nose unnecessarily to have it removed. With Extreme Green Graffiti Remover you keep your surfaces graffiti-free.

Extreme Green Commercial Kitchen Degreaser

If you work in a commercial kitchen, you probably spend more time cleaning than you’d like to. Grease and burnt-on foodstuffs can build up very quickly on a heavily-used griddle or stovetop ‘spiders’. And it can be absolute hell trying to clean them off. Long-term carbon deposits can feel as if they’re welded to the metal. How many hours have you spent madly scrubbing at a dirty great lump of black stuff on your stovetop – with meagre results to show for your pain and sweat.

Surely there’s an easier way! Extreme Green Commercial Kitchen Degreaser is a soaking cleaner that does all of that hard work for you. Forget the elbow grease and sweaty brow, simply drop your soiled equipment into a heated soak tank, add the required dose of Extreme Green Commercial Kitchen Degreaser, then sit back and relax while nature takes its course. This product eats away at grease, oil and carbon with the kind of power that no amount of scrubbing can match. Your griddles and stovetops will emerge looking brand new and sparkling. Extreme Green Commercial Kitchen Degreaser is also highly effective at removing grease from extraction fan filters and grills.

There’s a multitude of products out there that perform the same function as Extreme Green Commercial Kitchen Degreaser, but ours has an important difference. Extreme Green Commercial Kitchen Degreaser is made entirely from environmentally friendly, biodegradable ingredients. While most products that cut through grease and carbon, they rely on harsh and toxic chemicals to do the work, however we don’t like that so we’ve taken an all-natural approach.

It’s a safe bet that any cleaning product you use in the kitchen is going straight into our waterways. petro-solvents and mineral acids – the base ingredients of many degreasers and cleaners – are extremely harmful to our environment. They travel through our water system, killing marine life and fostering poisonous algae blooms, and eventually contaminate our soil and air as well.

Using these products is a huge risk to the environment, and completely unnecessary when there are safe alternatives like Extreme Green Commercial Kitchen Degreaser available. Because Extreme Green Commercial Kitchen Degreaser is non-polluting, it’s ideal for use in remote areas where septic systems are used and disposal of chemicals is an issue.

You need to keep your kitchen clean and functional. What you don’t need to do is pollute the earth and compromise the health of your staff and customers in the process. Envirosafe Solutions specialises in eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are effective, affordable and safe for everyone involved. For more information on how Envirosafe Solutions can assist you with commercial kitchen cleaning, please contact us on 1300 88 90 70.

Future of climate agreement uncertain

The current round of UN climate talks began on Tuesday in Bangkok, Thailand. These are the latest negotiations since the Cancun sessions in December last year. While the Cancun talks produced a raft of smaller agreements on clean technology and new climate funds, they sidestepped bigger questions on the fate of the Kyoto Protocol post-2012.

The Bangkok talks are off to a tumultuous start, with developing nations putting heavy pressure on the industrialised economic powers to extend the current emissions target regime until at least 2013. The current phase of the Kyoto Protocol – the world’s primary emissions target agreement – is due to expire next year.

Pacific island nations such as Tuvalu, which would face catastrophic disaster in the event of rising sea levels, are leading the call for an extension of Kyoto. There are fears that if the current agreement lapses without a clear path forward, gaps in international consensus may emerge, making it increasingly difficult to orchestrate a new global emissions target in the future.

At Envirosafe Solutions we believe passionately in the need to preserve our global environment. We will be watching the UN climate talks with great interest, in the hope that all nations can work together to combat climate change.

Extreme Green Insect Surface Spray

Summer is upon us. Despite the numerous joys of the warmer months, no-one is thrilled about the swarms of nasty critters that invade our workplaces at this time of year. The creepy crawlies are out in force, and how to deal with them is an ongoing problem for all Australian businesses.

Insects in the workplace are an unpleasant fact of life in Australia. At best, they’re an unsightly nuisance. At worst, insects pose a serious OH&S risk. Sprays, poisons and repellents have long been tools of the trade in offices and workshops across the country. In the good old days you would simply grab the closest can of Mortein and blast Mr. Cockroach into oblivion.

But times are changing. Attitudes have hardened and people are sceptical about any product loaded with dangerous chemicals. There is an increasing awareness of the health risks posed by insect sprays. The use of toxic products in the workplace can become an OH&S issue of its own – and no employer wants to poison their staff along with their cockroaches. Then there’s the environmental impact to consider.
